Text Anarchy [MAC]

Whether you're adding visual background noise, using text as a texture, or flashing words to reinforce a theme, text is an important element of your composition. Choose from Bezier paths, particle arrays, and Matrix-style patterns: Text Anarchy will generate the coolest effects while giving you fine typographic control. Also includes the Geomancy Shapes plug-ins.

Rich animations with particles
With particle plug-ins designed for text, you can move text in grids, lines, spirals, or other paths to create simple or complex effects. Randomness sliders add natural variations, while built-in alpha channel generation makes compositing easy.

Extensive typographic control
Text anarchy plug-ins give you pinpoint control over font size, kerning, tracking, leading, hinting and baseline shift — features seldom seen outside layout applications. Animate between different fonts, or scroll type across a screen.

Geomancy Shapes plug-ins included
For creating backgrounds and patterns of all kinds, Text Anarchy includes the Geomancy plug-ins for animating lines, squares, circles and other shapes in 3D space.
