I've always been reluctant to use animation software utilities. They're either too difficult for newbies like me, or have such a steep learning curve that I immediately feel discouraged.

In that sense, Magix 3D Maker is completely different to any other animation tool you may have tried. It has a very intuitive interface and is so easy to use you'll be producing your own text animations in no time.

Magix 3D Maker includes a bunch of animation effects, patterns and styles, ready for you to use at any moment. You can easily customize the animation's color, bevel, shadow and design options – among other features – from the sidebar, and preview results in real time. Some of those options can also be manually changed on the preview window, by simply dragging the animated text on your screen and moving the mouse.

Once your animation is ready, you can export it to several formats, including animated GIF, bitmap- or vector- based Flash file (SWF), AVI movie, animated cursor (CUR) and Windows screensaver (SCR).

Magix 3D Maker is a great tool to create attractive text animations, even if you haven't used animation software before.
