Text#126
Add text to the animation. I understand that this requiers a bit of work (selecting fonts, sizes, rendering fonts into shapes), but I believe that this would be useful.
Also, this tool is simply amazing!
Thanks, @Davi Mello! Text is planned and we’ve already done a decent amount of work to support it, just trying to prioritize among all our other features. Will be good to see the votes it gets here. :)
Rive looks amazing. We would like to use it create motion graphics for online content. If text is implemented, would there be a way to manipulate objects with it? A use case that comes up a lot in our work is to size a rectangle to the width of the text + a few pixels padding. In after effects, we do this by adding an expression, which is essentially a small javascript snippet that can modify the ppropertie of a shape frame by frame. Is there something planned like that in the future?
I believe that this is planned since we already manipulate text in SVG as shapes.
Is there anything that I can do to help you guys? I’m planning to ditch After Effects and anything that I can do to help this amazing platform will be a interesting for me.
@Davi Mello feel free to shoot us a note at hello@rive.app!
@Nick Verlinden this is something we would support, but it wouldn’t be directly related to the text feature itself. It would be a more generic type of constraint (or new group/container type) that would allow you to set layout options for resizing and alignment.

Hola @Inventarios denzil ¿Puedes explicar como estas añadiendo el texto y, si es posible, adjuntar una captura del error?
That’s great news to hear. Will text be added to the triggers panel as well? means we can pass / update the text as a parameter from the host app?
Hi @Ahmed Adly, yes we plan to provide the necessary options to make text dynamic so that you can change it at runtime. This introduces a few adiditonal complexities, such as exporting font files etc. We’re currently working on the underlying infrastructure to facilitate these types of features.
So something like this would be possible in near/far future?

i need this function please! need it
I’m excited this feature is planned, our app would really benefit from being able to animated and render text. we could create the educational content for our app much easier.
