Decode is a fact check post template: the myth shows big and red, then a scan line sweeps down and scrambles every letter into the truth. It suits a short, punchy myth you want to correct in one clean move, as a post, a story or a short video, made in your brand by Frekto.

What happens, beat by beat

5 beats
  1. Start: the myth fills the screen in giant red type.
  2. A scan band sweeps down the page.
  3. The turn (around 3.5 s): every letter scrambles and resolves into the truth as the page turns your colour.
  4. The myth decodes back in as a smaller card above the truth.
  5. The end: the finished poster with your logo.
