# Burning Paper: motion graphics style

> A burning paper text effect: glowing ember fronts eat the word out of a cream sheet as charred holes, with curling smoke and rising ash. Then the whole sheet burns away and a fresh one slides in, a warm reveal for trailers and video intros.

## Prompt (replace [TEXT] with your text)

```text
Show [TEXT] being burned out of a sheet of cream paper in a heavy high-contrast serif. Start on a clean sheet with subtle fibers. Small glowing embers appear inside the letters and spread outward along ragged fronts: a thin bright orange-yellow ember line, a charred black rim behind it and a scorched brown halo ahead, until each letter is a hole revealing a dark void lit by the warm glow of its edges. Thin gray smoke curls up from the fronts and dark ash flakes drift upward, their edges still glowing. The embers settle to a dull smolder, then a new front races in from one corner and the whole sheet burns away, and a fresh sheet slides in to loop. Warm, tactile, dramatic.
