Textue: free text animation presets for After Effects
by Studio Tue
$0+
A panel that lives in After Effects and shows you what a preset does before you use it. Every preset is a card with a motion preview. Hit play, or turn Play all on and watch the whole page at once. Find one by name, by category, or by starring the ones you keep coming back to.
Comes with 48 presets. Named, categorised, and every one previewed. They install into your own folder, so you can rename, re-file or delete them like anything else.
What it does
Apply to the selected text layers, in one undo.
Every apply adds a Speed dial and a Spread dial, so you can re-time a preset without touching keyframes.
Take it back off. One button removes exactly what Textue added… the animator and its dials, and nothing you made yourself.
Compare up to six side by side, playing in sync, then apply the one you picked.
Add your own. Drop .ffx files onto the panel or point it at a folder. It reads them; it never writes to them. Textue tells you when a file you are adding is a near-duplicate of one you already have.
Review mode to rename, note, categorise, favourite and remove. All of it is reversible, none of it touching the .ffx itself.
Removing a preset moves it to a _trash folder. Nothing is ever deleted.
Install
Download, unzip, drag the Textue folder into %APPDATA%\Adobe\CEP\extensions\, restart After Effects, and open it from Window → Extensions → Textue. It is signed, so there are no registry settings to change. Full instructions are in the readme inside the ZIP.
