What about animating Text.

Edit Subject

hehe - nice comment. frankly, neither are we...

any user request we get is really helpful to define the route we take.
but we prefer to understand what you would use it for, rather then trying to mimic existing solution, part of which are great, while others are not that great.

so, if your time allows, could you please describe some contexts, use cases where you would need text animation?

My vision is to zoom through very complicated graphics / slides / charts ... and at various points in time, certain text needs to “appear” – in the right location – so as to facilitate my talking points and highlight points of interest. It would be far too cluttered to have all of this text present simultaneously; thus, I need some method to hide and animate text and shapes, as needed.
I don’t think this can realistically be achieved by creative use of paths and hiding.

YES Exactly - the ability to 'build' or animate text as well as zoom and rotate via the path process would take prezi to a whole new level of functionality - usefulness for teachers and people presenting text heavy presentations! PLEASE ADD THIS FEATURE!!!!
