What is in it

Text animators
Animate position, scale, rotation, opacity, tracking or colour across characters, words or lines.
Range selectors
Start, end, offset, amount, smoothness, and both ease controls — the full Advanced set.
Multiple selectors
Stack more than one selector on a single animator.
Wiggly selector
Frequency-driven randomness across the selection.
Per-character 3D
Each glyph gets its own transform in 3D space.
Text on a path
Glyphs placed by arc length with tangent rotation, along a mask path, with keyframeable first margin.
Right-to-left and bidirectional text
Arabic and Hebrew, mixed with Latin in one line (since 0.8.3).
Vertical writing
Vertical columns with tate-chu-yoko and kinsoku line-breaking for CJK (since 0.8.3).
Optical kerning
Pair spacing measured from the glyph shapes, not only the font's kerning table (since 0.8.3).
Presets
18 text presets to start from.

Try the animator model: type your own words, pick a preset, scrub the range.
