RichText Pro

A layer-first Roblox Studio editor for rich text, animated effects, presets and client-controlled playback.

Overview

RichText Pro 1.0 turns Roblox typography into a visual layer workflow. Build multi-line text from editable layers, style each layer independently, combine color, motion, timing and style effects, preview the result live and apply it to one or more Roblox UI text objects.

RichText Pro is built for developers who want expressive Roblox typography without hand-writing and maintaining a separate text-effect system for every screen.

Build with visual text layers

Split a heading, message or label into visual layers. Every layer owns its text, line position, typography and effects, so one word can glow while another slides in and a third stays still. Duplicate layers, move them between lines or drag them into a new order while RichText Pro generates the underlying markup automatically.

Two focused editors

Use the Basic Editor for native Roblox rich text such as fonts, color, stroke, highlights and emphasis. Switch to the Animation Editor for 57 custom effects plus seven native RichText styles across Color, Motion, Timing and Style categories. Each selected effect opens the controls that matter for that tag.

Preview, audit and reuse

Pan, zoom and center the live Preview on dark or light backgrounds. Save reusable Basic or Animation presets, copy styling between layers, and run an audit to find empty layers, duplicate tags or overly expensive effect stacks before applying the result.

Made for real game UI

Apply the current composition to one or several selected TextLabel, TextButton or TextBox objects. RichText Pro installs one shared, visibility-aware client runtime for managed text and exposes a small LocalScript API for play, pause, restart and playback-state checks.
