Good questions.
A few quick answers about making things move.
What is Swash?
Swash is a motion design editor concept for kinetic typography in the browser. Type your text, pick a preset, tune the motion and export your result.
How fast can I make something?
Start from a ready-made motion preset, change the words and colours, and build from there. The point is to spend less time keyframing and more time creating.
Can I make things besides animated text?
Yes. Galleries, animated backgrounds, widgets and shader effects sit alongside the typography.
Can I use my own fonts?
Variable fonts are especially useful for kinetic type because their weight and width axes can become part of the animation.
