Any improvements welcome.

Any improvements welcome.

If you wanted the feedback to appear faster instead of animating, you could use Spin Off Events instead of Requested Frame.

Where should I add it ? Fire on Start to Fire Events ?
Tried that but I need at least 100 events to get the long text so it still animates.

Sorry I must oversee smtg, I’m not so familiar with Spin Events even if it’s a great node, I should use it more !

You used Spin Off Events as I had in mind. I was guessing that it would make the shadow appear more quickly, but yeah, the animation is noticeable. To actually hide the animation, you could wait until the 100th event to show the feedback image, as in the attached composition.
