Graph Editor

  • Forget complex range selectors – animate the intuitive way: with keyframes. Customize your easing or add your favorite expressions like overshoot and bounce for full creative control.
  • Use "Delay" or "Layer Markers" to trigger your custom animation at each word, character or line.

 


 

Text At Marker does the hard work so you don’t have to.

  • Animate in groups by adding a number to your marker.
  • Directions: Default, Reversed, Outwards, Inwards, Random, User Defined (Define order via layer name: 2,3,1,4,5)
  • Fine-tune marker behavior with options to ignore markers, react only to those starting with a specific letter, and offset animation timing for perfect sync with music and voiceover.
  • Stack multiple effects, tweak keyframes and easing for each, and craft your custom text animation.
