About Moglyph FX 4
Moglyph FX 4 is a toolset for After Effects that creates procedural clone and text animations directly from standard text layers rather than a traditional plug‑in. The cloner and effector setups live inside text layers, allowing unlimited cloner groups per composition and preserving a clean timeline. Users can combine third‑party text scripts such as Animation Composer, Text Evo, or Type Jazz with the cloner setups and save configurations as reusable presets by dragging text groups, masks, and effects into the preset library. Version 4.5 adds a rewritten Radial Cloner with controls for shape ratio, rotation, tangent tension, and a reset‑to‑perfect‑circle option, along with new features like a Rings Cloner, Hash random‑character mode, TextStyle Effector, Aim constraint, and MoGlyph‑PaintBrush.
