Version: Mix-FX Flash Text Effects 1.04
"I Would Never Pay $27 for This Product!"
Pros: It does give the user instant gratification in that all you need to do is input your text & choose a few options & then...voila...you have annimated text, so it is fun to play around with, but even as much of an amature as I am, it get's boring quickly & leaves you a little frustrated at how few options you really have.
Cons: Very few options - only a few text choices & no fun ones; background can only be a solid color, not even texture; you can't control the speed of the animations & they all seem to be very fast; you only have room for one line of text, you can't combine features - like, I wanted to annimate a quote but could only create one line of it. I couldn't save the one line & then have a second line with different text come up. Then, most disappointing & irritating of all was to find that after spending the better part of an hour getting my project just the way I wanted it, when I went to save it, only then did it tell me that as a trial version the only effect that could be saved was the "standard" effect. I felt like I wasted a lot of time & will probably delete this (even though there is no time limit on it that I could see) just because of the limitations. I would rather have a full-featured free version with the maker's name attached on the final project than have a limited version like this with no Maker ID attached - full featured with ID attached is better free advertising I would think. Only download this if you are totally new to this stuff.
