FX TextFlow is a really special tool : there is indeed NOTHING ELSE on the market that allows users to create multi-column text layers within After Effects (while this feature exists since decades in print & editing software like Indesign !)

So, if you ever need to create, compose and animate long text strings bounded in columns, to mimic Newspaper and Webdesign layouts, or even if you just want to experiment with new type treatments that were impossible to achieve in AfterEffects before… this product is for you 🙂

On top of that, FX TextFlow has 3 more really handy features to offer, that will be useful for ANY after effects user and motion designer :

You can create both bounded paragraph text box and regular inline text layers, either empty or filled with predefined (and customizable) substitution text, with the click of a button, thanks to a few simple shortcuts. Never right-click in your timeline again in order to create a perfectly centered text layer… just click the button !
Each new text layer generated by FX TextFlow will benefit from a really convenient FX reposAnchorPoint effect, that will drive the layer’s anchorPoint so that it stays exactly where you want it to be (top left, middle, bottom right…), no matter which kind of text you have. It’s fully automated thanks to expressions and the effect’s option can be animated and even be used in .mogrt templates to align your text in Premiere !
Add some sample text to your selected text layers procedurally thanks to the Sample Text Generator ; it allows you to instanciate one string of text that you can edit (by default it will either be some “Lorem Ipsum…” if your selected layer is a bounded text box or the famous “The Quick Brown Fox…” sentence if your selected layer is an inline “regular” text layer) ; you can chose how many instances of this string you want your text layer to be populated with, add predefined separators (space, return, dots, dash…) between each instance, and even add the instance IDs as prefixes and/or suffixes ! Perfect for quickly adding menu items, file names, chapters titles…
