Target result
The title briefly shifts, distorts and smears, then resolves into a clean final state that the viewer can read immediately.

Assembly steps
- 1.Build and style the clean Text+ first. The final stable state should already work before the glitch is added.
- 2.Add Displace and drive the displacement with Fast Noise so the distortion has an irregular digital texture.
- 3.Animate the displacement strength for a very short burst—typically only a handful of frames around the reveal.
- 4.Add Directional Blur only during the disruption, then return both distortion and blur to a clean readable state.
Common mistakes
- Letting the glitch run too long and turning a title reveal into unreadable noise.
- Using displacement values so strong that the type disappears completely.
- Never returning to a clean final frame after the effect.
