Stretch slide-in animation

Stretch slide-in brings a word into the frame from the right while its letters appear wider than their resting proportions. As the movement slows, the word snaps back to its normal width. The result gives a short headline a clear sense of speed and arrival. This library preview demonstrates the entrance; use compact text and leave horizontal space for the stretched shape to travel.

The prompt
