## Summary

Shutter-Slice Word Cycler A premium text animation for Framer that turns static copy into a kinetic headline.

## Description

Shutter-Slice Word Cycler

A premium text animation for Framer that turns static copy into a kinetic headline. On visibility, each word reveals through **shutter-style slices** with subtle **flicker**, then holds cleanly before the next word appears. It’s elegant, fast, and built for production.

## What it does

-   **Segmented “shutter” reveal:** The word is divided into vertical slices that open in a staggered cascade.
    
-   **Flicker finishing:** Characters micro-flicker as slices resolve, then settle to crisp text.
    
-   **Word cycling with hold:** Each word animates in, **holds** for your chosen duration, then advances.
    
-   **Responsive by design:** Font size scales from the **parent’s height** for effortless, layout-true responsiveness.
    
-   **Layout control:** Left/center/right alignment with **fit-content** width so it hugs text (no ugly gaps).
    

## Why it’s different

-   Looks premium out of the box (editorial pacing + mechanical snap).
    
-   Tuned for real-world hero sections, quotes, and case study headers.
    
-   Hug-the-content width prevents spacing issues in inline sentences.
    
-   Zero external dependencies. Clean TypeScript + Framer property controls.
    

## Controls (all visual)

-   **Words:** as many upto 10
    
-   **Typography:** Full font control (size is your baseline at intrinsic height)
    
-   **Colors:** Text Color, Scrambled Color
    
-   **Timing:**
    
    -   Animation Speed (ms) — shutter duration
        
    -   Word Hold Duration (ms) — dwell after resolve
        
-   **Motion shaping:**
    
    -   Slice Count — number of vertical slices
        
    -   Stagger Delay (ms) — per-slice offset
        
    -   Flicker Count — intensity of micro-flicker
        
    -   Flicker Speed (ms) — flicker frequency
        
-   **Alignment:** Left / Center / Right
    

## Best use cases

-   Hero headlines with a single dynamic word
    
-   Quotes with one rotating verb/noun
    
-   Feature banners and launch callouts
    
-   Portfolio case titles that need subtle motion
    

## Implementation details

-   **Fit-content width** + inline flow keeps the left edge pinned; growth occurs only to the right.
    
-   Slices animate with eased progress and per-slice stagger for the “shutter” look.
    
-   Character flicker is time-limited so the word always resolves cleanly before the hold.
    
-   Intersection-aware: animates when in view, resets cleanly when out of view.
    

## Performance tips

-   Keep Slice Count reasonable (6–12) for smooth 60fps on most devices.
    
-   Use shorter **Flicker** on mobile for clarity.
    
-   Choose high-contrast **Scrambled Color** that still feels subtle (e.g., a tinted gray).
    

## Accessibility

-   Motion is brief, legible, and resolves to static text between cycles. Consider pairing with a reduced-motion variant if your page is motion-heavy.
    

## What’s included

-   **Framer Code Component (.tsx)** with property controls
    
-   Clean, commented code you can extend (no external libs)
