Key Features:

• Multi-Animator System:

Control up to 5 separate animators, each with their own position, rotation, scale, and skew settings. Assign different movement styles to different letters for endless creative possibilities.

• Merge Animator System:

Combine multiple animators together for coordinated effects:

• Global All Mode: Make active animators affect every character simultaneously.
• Animator Merging: Merge specific animators together (e.g., merge Animator 2 into Animator 1).

Non-merged animators continue to shuffle normally across characters

• Smart Shuffling & Sequencing:

Shuffle which animator affects each letter, stagger animation timing, and choose from multiple animation directions (reading order, reversed, center-out, random, and more).

• 3D Character Support:

Animate text in full 3D space. Move, rotate, and scale each character on X, Y, and Z axes.

• Tracking Animation:

Animate letter spacing smoothly using the Tracking control inside Text Controls

• Transition Controls:

Easily fade and blur text with built-in transition controls. Use global or individual strength for smooth, customizeable reveals.

• Bounce Effects:

Add playful bounce motion to your text with customizable amplitude, frequency, and decay settings.

• Fine-Tuned Customization:

Mirror movement, alternate directions, randomize order, and adjust delay for each letter. Every control is keyframeable for total flexibility.

• NEW! Bake to Shapes (Up to 10× Better Performance)

Convert Shuffle It! animations into editable shape layers with keyframes.

Includes options for separated path parts and mirrored movement.

• Easy to Use:

Just apply the preset, adjust the controls, and animate!

Compatibility:

Presets and Scripts works with Adobe After Effects CC 2019 and above.
