Feature Request: Add the ability to play in reverse

Open TravonteD opened this issue 3 months ago • 1 comments

It would be awesome to be able to play some of the animations in reverse to give an "in and out" effect. For example playing the slide animation, and then sliding the text back out.

You're saying you would like to play an effect forward, then play the frames again in reverse?

I'm considering adding effect-specific options to certain effects that would leave the canvas in a state where no text is present. This would work with effects such as Slide, where the text could slide into place, then either reverse back off the edge, or even continue in the same direction out of the canvas.

RandomSequence (which will be renamed fade, or something) would fade in, then fade back out.

You could imagine other effects with actions that lend themselves to this behavior.
