CloseBreaks up text into separate layers.
Based on user feedback v3 now has 2 modes:
- Keep original position using expressions (new layers have the same text as the original layer with some elements hidden)
- Approximated position without expressions (new layers are 1 char/word/line long)
Each mode has 3 choices:
- Split into characters
- Split into words
- Split into lines
After completion you will have a layer for each character/word/line.

Ease and Wizz
Ease and Wizz is a plugin for After Effects that gives you more ways to interpolate between values. The obvious use is in motion, but it can be used on animated properties of any kind. They're applied with an After Effects-ish palette that can be docked, so it's very easy to use.
