Working with the Text Scrambler
Text Scrambler randomizes or shufßes text characters and text styles in a variety of ways
and will jitter the size, position, hue and angle of text characters.
Many of the Text Scrambler parameters are similar to the Title 3D parameters. For instance,
you could use either Þlter to create a type on effect. However, the Text Scrambler also allows
you to randomize text. Conversely, the Title 3D Þlter allows you to create animatable
shadows and borders. The Text Scrambler does not include a Border and Shadows
parameter group.
When the Continuously Rasterize checkbox is selected, the Vector form of the text is forced
to recalculate based on Page Transformations parameter changes. While this can be useful
for speciÞc types of effects, it is unnecessary for many effects and can slow performance -
most noticeably when using sophisticated text styles.
Select the Continuously Rasterize checkbox to improve quality in the following situations.
• When the Scale parameters are set to scale the text much larger than 100% size.
• When using large negative Position Z values.
• When the Tumble or Spin parameters are set so that parts of the text appear very close
to the viewer.
• When Rotating text with a bevel or emboss style and you want the highlight to
recalculate accordingly.
