Word to Sentence Typing: a typewriter text animation for the turn in your story
Word to Sentence Typing is a typewriter text animation for the turning point of a video: one word rises alone and hangs for a moment, then becomes the first word of a short sentence that types out in a big close up. The pause builds suspense and the typed line releases it. It suits the moment a problem meets its answer, a rhetorical question or a sudden realization.

What it looks like
A single word rises into the frame on its own and hangs there for a moment. Then, in a big close up, that same word becomes the start of a short sentence, and the rest of the line types out after it, letter by letter. The sentence stays very short, about 32 characters at most, so it reads in one glance. The scene runs about three seconds and feels dramatic and concise.
It sits between two parts of the story, most often on the way out of the problem section, and it feels dramatic and concise.

Questions
Does the sentence have to start with the word that rises?
Yes. The rising word must be the exact first word of the sentence, otherwise the handoff from word to sentence breaks.
How long can the sentence be?
Very short, about 32 characters at most. Also avoid ending on an unfinished word such as the or to.
Can I use it to explain a feature?
It is not made for explanations. Use it for a turn, a question or a realization, and let the next scene show the detail.
