Measured entry

fancy-vertical-cut-reveal

text-effectspatialmotion on file

A client-side React text reveal that clips words, characters, lines, or custom-delimited segments and animates them vertically with Motion. It ships as a shadcn registry component and relies on Motion, Tailwind utility classes, and the usual cn helper imported through the project alias.

Verdict

A flexible, source-available heading effect with clean rendering and useful control hooks, but its Motion dependency is substantial for a narrow flourish. It needs a shadcn-style setup before it will build or mount unchanged, so it fits best in projects already using that structure.

Use it if

  • You need a configurable entrance treatment for a short hero heading or campaign statement.
  • You want word, character, or line splitting with stagger direction and timing controls.
  • You need to start or reset the reveal imperatively and respond when it begins or completes.

Skip it if

  • Your interface must honor reduced-motion preferences without adding that behavior yourself.
  • You are animating long passages where the extra wrapper elements and staggered motion would be distracting.
  • You do not already use Motion and cannot justify adding it for a single heading effect.

In a non-shadcn project, install Motion, provide Tailwind classes including a screen-reader-only utility, and add a cn class-merging helper at the expected alias or replace that import. Keep it in a client-rendered React boundary.
