Not the parent but that was not at all clear to me. I immediately thought of taking multiple successive instantaneous screenshots and then stacking them. I'm not sure I would have thought of using a camera within a few minutes to an hour, it's not a tool I would ever reach for normally.
Also not the parent but how the hell did you not understand what "long exposure" means ffs
"ffs".

Not sure what you mean - I can screenshot it freely that's not the point the point is if you look then at the screenshot you cant discern the text because its a single frame now
He's right. This is zoomed out: https://imgur.com/a/G7CKZ94 This is on MacOS 15.6, Chromium (BrowserOS), captured with the OS' native screenshot utility. Since I was asked about the zoom factor, I now tried simply capturing it at 100% and it was still perfectly readable... I guess the trick doesn't work on this browser.
What i am supposed to see here? Its just static noisy background
You can take TWO screenshots, moments apart, open in GIMP, paste one over the other and choose any one of these laying modes: Lighten, Screen, Addition, Darken, Multiply, Linear burn, Hard Mix, Difference, Exclusion, Subtract, Grain Extract, Grain Merge, or Luminance. https://ibb.co/DDQBJDKR

This is really interesting - because it means the "randomness" is different between the text and the background, and when you zoom out enough, the eye can distinguish it?

The only way to see the text is in the movement. The pattern across any single frame is entirely random noise.
> The pattern across any single frame is entirely random noise. This is untrue in at least one sense. The patterning within the animated letters cycles. It is generated either by evaluating a periodic function or by reading from a file using a periodic offset.
Roughly you create another full size rect. On each frame add a random pixel on row 1 and shift everything down.
Make that rest a layer below the top one which has Hello cut out as transparent.
In any single frame the result is random noise.

Can't it be continuous random noise added at the top and then moved down each frame. Roughly you create another full size rect. On each frame add a random pixel on row 1 and shift everything down.

You don't even need to maintain the approach of having the pattern within the text move downwards over time. You could redraw it every frame with random data, as if it was television static. It would still be easy to read, as long as the background stayed fixed.
