# Scanline Relief Synth: motion graphics style

> A scan-processor text effect from analog video synthesizers: raster lines lift with brightness, so the word rises from green phosphor lines as a 3D relief. It tilts, ripples and sinks. A 70s video-art look for music visuals and experimental titles.

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

```text
Recreate an analog video-synthesizer scan-processor effect for [TEXT]. The frame is pure black, filled edge to edge with about a hundred horizontal raster lines drawn as thin glowing green phosphor traces. Each line is pushed upward wherever the image behind it is bright, so [TEXT], set in a fat rounded display face and softly blurred, rises out of the lines as a smooth 3D relief, with the raised parts brighter and almost white-green. Start with flat lines rippling from a sine oscillator, let the relief swell up, then slowly tilt and sway the whole raster in 3D while ripples travel across it. Give the traces a soft glow and a short afterglow trail. Finally let a wave wash through and the letters sink back flat; loop every 8 seconds.
```

## Visual DNA

- Dozens of horizontal green phosphor lines on pure black
- Lines bulge upward wherever the image is bright, forming a relief of the word
- Slow 3D tilt and sway of the whole raster
- Oscillator ripples running across the lines
- Glowing traces with short phosphor afterglow
