Hi,
The component will work with SWiSH miniMax3 ($69.95 USD). This is as close as we have to a stand alone tool at the moment, but it would let you do far much more than just the block buster effect.

Hi,
Scroll bar or navigation via mouse position could be added. I’ll make a note for a future blog article.
If you wish to experiment yourself, the component can be “opened up” in Max3 by right clicking on it in the outline panel then select Object Attributes then uncheck Conceal Script and Conceal child objects.

Sorry, the shaking cannot be avoided. It is caused by the text being quantized to a specific pixel as it is re-sized.

Why the text looks like “shaking”? can it be avoided?

Looks like SM effect:
ONE OFF
CINEMA – STAR WARS

Could You add something like scrollbar or navigation (up and down) according to mouse poiter position?

Hi, will this nice tool also become available as a stand-alone tool?
I would be very interested then to buy it.

Hi, Thanks for your comments. You have pointed out a valid issue. I have updated the component attached to this post to fix the problem. The new version should show 20091211 as the version number in the parameters panel.
