# Pixel sort

Visual style (Transition)
Source: https://visual-gallery.asami.tokyo/en/styles/pixel-sort-transition

Vertical streaks of sorted pixels drip down from the top like melting, covering the frame.

## Palette
- #101014 Dark (~40%)
- #FFD166 Gold (~20%)
- #FF5D8F Pink (~20%)
- #3A0CA3 Violet (~20%)

## Visual traits
- Mid-transition: narrow vertical columns of different lengths hang from the top edge like drips
- Each column is a smooth gradient sorted by brightness (gold to pink to violet), crisp at the column edges
- Column ends are flat, stepped and uneven; the background shows below them
- Sequence: the drips grow down from the top until the frame is covered, then fall out through the bottom revealing the next shot

## Prompt
Pixel sort transition, mid-frame: narrow vertical columns of different lengths hanging from the top edge like drips, each a smooth brightness-sorted gradient from gold to pink to violet with crisp column edges and flat, stepped ends, over a dark background. Sequence: the drips grow down until the frame is covered, then fall out through the bottom onto the next shot.

## Avoid
organic paint drips, round blobs, horizontal glitch, blur, soft edges
