Keyboard Generation and Typing Animation Tool
keyboardFX is a tool for Adobe After Effects, specifically designed to create highly customizable keyboards together with user-defined typing animations. With full and dynamic customization, you can create any kind of keyboard from an old electric typewriter to a futuristic holographic keyboard.
It saves you an incredible amount of design time. If you want to create an animated typing keyboard, this is your tool!
Every keyboard is fully and dynamically customizable giving you the ability to create virtually any type of keyboard.
There is also an option for Qwerty, Azerty or Dvorak keyboard layouts.
Here are a few examples created only with keyboardFX:
keyboardFX v1.2 introduces a new mode for better timing your animations by using markers! For each generated text character, keyboardFX creates a layer marker, which controls the typing animation and key illumination.
keyboardFX v1.2 also introduces the ‘{{HOLD}} special code which gives the ability to light-up key combinations or whole sections of the keyboard.
You can illuminate all available keys on every keyboard, including the Function, Modifier, Navigation and Numeric Pad Keys.
You can easily adjust the typing speed as well as the glow decay.
In order for keyboardFX to illuminate other than alphanumeric keys (e.g. the function keys, arrow keys etc.) a special code must be typed. This special code is nothing more than double curly brackets before and after the name of the key.
For example:
You want keyboardFX to generate typing animations for the following two words:
Hello World! and immediately after that, you want to illuminate the “Page Down” key. What you should write in the text field of keyboardFX is:
Hello World!'{{PAGE DOWN}}
and then press the “Generate keyboard!” button.
