  • Stream text part 2

    Posted by Nathan on June 1, 2006 at 3:58 pm

    It was recommended to me to use the plugin Text Anarchy to achieve the effect of text streaming or floating left to right in the bgrd of my movie at varying sizes, opacities and depths. The plug in is here https://www.digitalanarchy.com/text/text_matrix.html# (see the text moves along streams example). Well this plugin seems to work great, but everything you control is based on each character and not each line or word (that is what I need to do). Anyone got any ideas how I achieve this with this plugin or another one? Or maybe another method? Been playing with the plugin trial for hours cant seem to quite achieve the effect I am after.

    Any advice, help or link much appreciated.

    The first part of my question was answered by someone from DA, and it seems that Text Anarchy is setup to only vary characters. Jim went on to say that I can use multiple instances to fake what i am after. Going to try that, just wanted to post this just in case someone searches or has the same problem.

    Also willing to hear any other suggestions.
