Description

Motype is a revolutionary text animation plug-in that works in After Effects, Final Cut Pro, Motion and Final Cut Express.

Motion Mixer

Mix geometric transformations and properties that define the motion of the characters. The Motion mixer allows you to animate without keyframes.

Random Characters

Add rhythm and a jump cut effect to your titles with different styles of random characters and symbols. You can also create your own character table to be randomized.

Trailing Blur

Motion blur simulates the blur created by fast-moving objects. Motype’s Trailing blur uses this principle, but gives you more control to use motion blur and smear effects in a creative way.

Per Letters Particles

Assign particles streams to Characters. Particles can be defined to act as a dynamic background or to follow the text animation. Emitters are fully adjustable over direction and time to provide soft coat or an explosive impact on the text.

3D Camera

Apply camera movements to the stage. With the auto-animate option, you can quickly create stunning traveling on a particular axis during the animation.

Cyclorama

Light the background and achive varied looks with the build in cyclorama that can show spotlights and textures.
