<p>I really don't know what is the best way to phrase this. But basically what I want is to have a single word on the screen, e.g. AUGUST. </p>

<p>So when the title first starts, all 6 letters will be constantly switching to random letters. Then slowly the letter in first position will stop, so in the example A will stop, then followed by U, G, U, S, T. Essentially it is a bunch of randomly changing letters in place that slowly reveal themselves to form a word. </p>

<p>Am working with Final Cut Pro, have Motion but not sure how to use it. Any help is appreciated. Thanks! </p>

Someone recently asked on another forum in another context for the similar effect, so I created a [JavaScript implementation](https://jsfiddle.net/sergiks/oe57g58m/) for them, runs in a browser.
