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.
