Paraplex

Punch text animation

Each word springs out from nothing and wobbles to rest. Playful announcements, prices, a big yes. Type your own words below, then download it or open it in Paraplex.

How to make it

  1. Type up to three short lines in the Words box.
  2. Choose the face, the background and how long the words rest.
  3. Download the MP4 loop or a transparent WebM to lay over your own video — or open it in Paraplex, where the animation is a setting on the text layer you can retime, change or pair with an exit.

Questions

How do I use this animation in Paraplex?

Select a text layer and choose Animate in its Text settings, then pick it under Animate in; its timing, how it splits (letters, words or lines) and its curve are yours to change, and Animate out takes it away again. Open in Paraplex brings it in on a text layer ready to edit.

Is it free?

Yes. The preview and its downloads are free, with no watermark and no account. Paraplex's free plan includes the editor.

Can I put the text over my own video?

Choose None for the background and download the transparent WebM: it keeps only the words.
