Create a clean, silent 2D motion-graphics study of Scramble to Text, in a landscape 16:9 composition.

Random glyphs change in discrete steps before settling on the target text.

Timing: one complete reference cycle lasts 3.2 seconds, including the described holds and reset. If the output clip is longer, repeat this cycle. Use smooth acceleration and deceleration between the described poses, preserving the holds and corrections.
Playback order: forward, following the sequence described above.
Composition: scale the entire artwork layout to 100% of the baseline centered composition; the canvas size stays fixed. Keep the motion unclipped. Use a background #090a12 and main-color artwork #c4c5ce (pale-tint: the main color blended about 75% toward the background), crisp edges and restrained shading. Lock the camera; no camera movement, cuts, perspective changes beyond the stated technique, or extra objects.
The only visible text is the text “DECODE”, spelled exactly. No logos, watermarks, interface controls or captions. No dialogue, music, sound effects or ambient audio.

Priority: preserve the defining movement — Random glyphs change in discrete steps before settling on the target text. Compare the beginning, middle and end of the cycle.
During the reveal, temporary random letters and digits are allowed. Finish on the specified text.
Text layout: horizontal lines. Preserve explicit line breaks. Letter spacing: 0 composition pixels. Text: "DECODE".
Final palette: main color #c4c5ce, background #090a12; pale-tint means the main color blended about 75% toward the background.
