Impact slams your word into the centre of frame with a spring overshoot, a flash at the moment of landing, and shockwave rings pushing outward from the point of contact.

How this animation is built
im-pop lands the word with a spring curve, im-flashk fires a single-frame flash exactly on contact, and im-shock expands rings outward afterwards. The flash lasting one frame is deliberate — a longer one reads as a fade rather than an impact.
Tips for Impact
Cut hard into it. Any transition in softens the hit.
Short words, heavy weights.
Impact questions
How is this different from Impact Stamp?
Impact arrives from the front with shockwave rings and a flash — a punch toward the viewer. Impact Stamp comes down from above onto a surface, with rough edges and a frame shake.
