Pixel Scan

A band of pixel blocks sweeps across the words and scatters their colour channels on the way through, so the copy resolves in passes instead of fading up.

About this tool

Built as a loading state, which is why it loops on a hold rather than playing once: the band crosses, the type settles, and it goes again after a pause you set. Several layers run at staggered offsets so the scatter never repeats itself exactly. The scan can travel across or down, and its width, speed and layer count are controls, as are the lines of copy and the type itself.
