Use Decrypted Text from React Bits (https://reactbits.dev/text-animations/decrypted-text, MIT + Commons Clause: OK in a video). Install with npx shadcn@latest add @react-bits/DecryptedText-JS-CSS and use it for tech or security reveals: a product name, a code word, a stat. Set text, speed (ms per scramble step), maxIterations, sequential with revealDirection, and characters for the scramble set. It scrambles on setInterval with Math.random, so a render will differ every time. Compute the revealed count from (frame - startFrame) / fps * 1000 / speed and pick the scramble glyphs with a random function seeded by frame and character index.
