In researching how to animate text for the names of the performers in the Live Vibe TV Bach presentation, I tried working with both Flash and Isadora. There seemed to be no advantage to Flash in that the overall production is going to use Isadora to control the multimedia components for the event. Isadora offers an amazing versatility of effects and modes. It comes with examples of how to set up a series of variables and controls, one of which is shown on the screen capture above. Only focusing on the possibilities with text, the following are just some of what can be accomplished:
1) Showed alpha channeled text over video images
2) Allowed for control of font size, color, and style (can match logo fonts)
3) Allowed for control of location and/or rotation of text
4) Create effects with the text such as changing it to dots, or cutting it into
sections which then come together to form the names
5) Animated on an x,y, and z axes
6) Allowed for button or toggle control of chosen functions
