List of eight plugins.
Text Anarchy expands your repertoire of text effects,
allowing you to create more complex designs in less time. Here
is a list of the eight filters in this exciting package.
Cool Text.
Cool Text is designed to allow the animation of text on a letter by letter basis. Once the text is laid out the way you want, select and set up one or all of the five sets of Effects controls: Scale, Rotate, Blur, Opacity, and Color. Combine multiple Effects to create unique animations, and wrap the text around animated paths (After Effects only). [more] |

Text Spiral.
Text Spiral allows you to set up text on a path. The text at one end can have the same or different attributes as the text at the opposite end. This allows you to easily create text that looks like it’s going down a drain, or scale text off into the distance, compositions that are extremely difficult otherwise. This plugin is not included in the Final Cut Pro package. [more] |

Text Hacker.
Text Hacker is designed to convert one string of text into another, or have a string of text appear out of random characters. It only deals with single lines (no paragraphs in this filter) and the conversion is set up with carriage returns. You can specify lines of text that will be generated randomly or changed. [more] |

Font Changer.
Font Changer is a fairly simple plug, allowing you to take a string of text and animate the font. You can select up to five different fonts and have the text string change from one to the other. The Font Changer controls are incorporated into other filters, including Cool Text (shown at right) and Text Hacker. [more]

TypeOn.
TypeOn simulates the often-used effect of a typewriter or other device typing onto a screen. This creates visuals such as you’d see typed in by a human with more control over the look of the text, such as kerning. [more] |

Text Matrix.
Text Matrix moves text along streams. At a very basic level, this plugin creates matrix-esq effects, with text raining down. But this plugin goes deeper to create layered visuals with no keyframes and only the initial solid its applied to. An interesting feature of Text Matrix is its ability to use custom paths (After Effects only). [more]

Text Grid.
Text Grid creates a grid of randomly generated or user supplied characters or numbers. You control parameters relating to columns, rows, and characters. A second color can be randomly be distributed throughout the grid for easy variety. Cool features are the ability to magnify or de-magnify a section, and a taper function for this effect. [more]
