Per-Word Crossfade

Paste it into your composition

Open compositions/components/per-word-crossfade.html and copy what is inside into your own composition. The file opens with a comment header that walks you through it.A component has no size or duration of its own. It takes both from the composition you paste it into.

Variables

Every one of these has a default, so the piece works untouched. Set the ones you want to change on the element:

Variable	Default	Accepts	What it does
`text`	`Create once reuse everywhere`	string	The line to animate. It is split on whitespace and every word gets its own span, so the stagger picks up the new words.
`drift`	`standard`	`close`, `standard`, `far`	Scales the vertical offset, so the words cover a shorter or longer run in the same time.
`blur`	`standard`	`soft`, `standard`, `heavy`	Scales the blur radius the timeline drives, from a light haze to a full smear.
`tone`	`ink`	`ink`, `paper`, `accent`	Word colour: ink for light frames, paper for dark ones, accent rides —brand.

Set them with data-variable-values on the element that mounts it. These are the defaults, so this behaves exactly like the preview above until you change one:

<div
  data-composition-id="per-word-crossfade"
  data-composition-src="compositions/components/per-word-crossfade.html"
  data-variable-values='{"text":"Create once reuse everywhere","drift":"standard","blur":"standard","tone":"ink"}'
></div>
