Animated Text Block Pro extends the Animated Text block in Gutenberg with more animation, playback, and styling controls. Add the block to a post or page, enter your copy, then configure its presentation in the editor sidebar. Use it for a headline, slogan, announcement, or a set of lines that appear in sequence.

Choose how motion starts and repeats

Animate text by character or word, with effects for when it enters or leaves the view. Adjust animation speed and perspective depth, add oscillation, and set looping, automatic repeat, or a delay between cycles. Prefix and suffix content can frame the animated text, while multiple sentences can play one after another.

Choose a playback trigger: page load, scroll into view, hover, click, or scroll scrubbing. Set a viewport offset and start delay, play once or every time, stagger letters or words, and pause playback while the text is off-screen or the browser tab is hidden.

Pick a style for the effect

Choose from pre-designed themes and premium animation effects. The Pro styles include:

• Highlight: Draw one of 20 hand-drawn SVG shapes around the text, with solid or gradient colors and options for looping and position.
• Text scroll: Light up or uncover lines as the reader scrolls, using vertical or horizontal highlighting and masking effects.
• Modern effects: Apply Blur In, Scramble, Shiny Sweep, Line Mask, Glitch, Rotating Words, or Number Count-Up.

For other treatments, adjust fonts, text colors, shadows, and maximum layout width. Background, typography, color, padding, and border settings let you tune the block, and quick styles switch between predefined appearances. Randomized colors are also available.

Place animated text in your content

Add the block directly in Gutenberg or use shortcode support in areas that accept shortcodes. Install and activate Animated Text Block Pro, open a post or page, and add the Animated Text block from the Widgets category. Enter your text, then set the effect, playback, theme, and styling in the right-side settings sidebar before publishing.

Pro also includes priority support and updates.
