Text animation, done right
ANIM8R is a text animation studio inside After Effects. Animate letter by letter, watch every change play instantly, and export plain keyframes that render anywhere.
Windows and macOS · After Effects 2021 or newer
No more hunting through dropdowns, no more controls with no visual feedback, no more stacking animator on animator to build one simple move.
A complete text animation studio with a real interface. Every control gives visual feedback and the preview updates instantly, so you shape the animation by eye instead of waiting on a RAM preview.
Ease High and Ease Low are gone.
A built-in graph editor shapes the motion of every character. Overshoot, anticipation and bounce were never this easy.
Drive the whole animation with a field instead of keyframes. Move it, rotate it or scale it, and every letter reacts to how close it sits to the centre. It is the feature we are proudest of, and After Effects has nothing like it.
Turn Keep Spacing on and every letter holds its spacing to its neighbours as the animation scales and moves them. Grow a letter and the line opens up, shrink it and the line closes in. Kerning, tracking and alignment all hold, and it works on a path too.
Arrange and move your text along true 3D paths that react to After Effects cameras and lights.
Start from a ready-made helix, spiral or infinity loop, or draw your own.
Mix and stack every control to reach results that would normally take hundreds of lines of expressions. You never write one.
The wiggly and expression selectors, rebuilt as one feature. Make an animation genuinely random and keep every parameter under your control.
Set and refine your timing without leaving the panel. The built-in timeline carries its own graph editor, so keyframes and curves stay in one place.
Keep any animation as a preset for the next job or to share with other ANIM8R users, and save the whole project to pick it up later.
When it is ready, one button sends the animation into After Effects as native layers and keyframes.
One note: once it leaves ANIM8R it can no longer be edited in the panel. We hope to solve that in a future update.
