Fill text
Matt Perry
In this tutorial, we're going to build the Fill text example step-by-step.
This example is rated intermediate difficulty, which means we'll spend some time explaining the Motion APIs we've chosen to use, but it assumes familiarity with JavaScript as a language.
Here's a live demo of the example we're going to be creating:

Introduction
The Fill text example shows how to create a loading animation where text fills from left to right. This uses the transform utility to map progress values to clip-path strings, and the animate function with spring physics for smooth transitions.
The technique stacks two copies of text - a faded background version and a bright version that's progressively revealed.
