  • How to get the streaming/flowing text effect

    Posted by Nathan on May 30, 2006 at 10:30 pm

    How do I animate/loop text (words) traveling from left to right with varying degrees of opacity and depth. Kinda like they are flowing on a highway (lanes). And they overlap with some going slower than others and over lapping (z-index). I hope that explanation made sense, but I basically need text to be looping in the bgrd overlapping going 2 different directions.

    Digital Anarchy’s Text Matrix is the easiest way. Otherwise, you probably have to do it manually.

    Playing with text matrix now. It seems everything is based on the character and not the words. Like when I set the random opacity it sets it per character. And I cannot seem to figure a way to set it per word. Anyone have some experience with this plugin and can help me? Other than that is seems to be the right tool for the job. but I want to make sure before I buy it.
