About Velocity Shadow Text
Velocity Shadow is a dynamic Framer text component that transforms cursor movement into a smooth, directional shadow trail. Move your cursor slowly for a subtle shadow. Move faster and the shadow stretches farther, creating a dramatic motion effect that makes static typography feel alive.
The effect responds to the velocity and direction of your cursor, not simply its position. When the cursor stops, the shadow naturally loses momentum and fades back into the text.
