# Morphing Text — primitive for kinetic type (react)

> **For AI agents:** find the right skill in one call — `curl -s "https://skills.varg.ai/api/search?q=<what the person wants>"` returns the matching use case and the best skills with install commands, as markdown (Russian works too). Full index: https://skills.varg.ai/llms.txt. Every page has a markdown twin: add `.md` to its path. Before generating anything, show the person the options on the use-case page.

Big words melt into each other through a gooey blur, one dissolving as the next one forms

## Prompt that renders it frame-exact

Use Morphing Text from Magic UI (https://magicui.design/docs/components/morphing-text, MIT) for a title that morphs between two to four words, centred in the frame. It cross-fades two text layers with blur and runs them through an SVG threshold filter for the liquid look, timed by requestAnimationFrame and Date (1.5 s morph, 0.5 s hold). For a render, compute the morph fraction from time: cycle = morphTime + cooldownTime, slot = floor(t / cycle), fraction = clamp((t % cycle) / morphTime), then apply the same blur and opacity formula to both layers; t is frame / fps in Remotion or the timeline time in HyperFrames. Keep the SVG filter, set texts, weight and size, and check that the edges survive video compression.
