WildFX
Wild fx comes with a rather extensive list of effects enabling you to animate text in an endless number of ways. 417 of them to be precise. According to the developer that's more than any competitive package. That's what intrigued us to evaluate the package, and there are A LOT of very nice animation effects that you probably won't find anywhere else. This makes the package a bargain since it is priced about the same as other Flash animation products on the market. More value for your money.
With so many choices, this can easily become one of those tools that you sit down to do a ~Site-O-Crap~ and you get so caught up in experimenting with all of the animation options that you soon forget what your original goal was . . . I guess that's a good thing. No limitations here certainly.
I found the interface a bit bland and overwhelming. Options and controls are good, but for those of us who are somewhat less experienced with Flash design, too many options and controls may be a bit much.
The Preview box is also not integrated, so you can't see how your animation will look in real-time. You need to stop, launch the Preview box, and then return to the main interface to make changes. Could be easier
Features :
Wild fx also supports Chinese and Japanese, so if you are a developer who works in those languages, this tool may be what you are looking for.
