Right now there are tremendous capabilities in Filter Forge to create textures and also to animate them. You can create your own filters to do an amazing amount of things. I realize that adding Font Rendering is probably outside of the scope of Filter Forge. But I need an app that generates image files for an animation or mp4 files from an animation for using in any NLE Video Editor. Right now Adobe After Effects and Premier is cool, but I don't know how much longer I will keep my subscription due the re-occurring fees - you cannot buy it outright. I have other programs NLE programs like Vegas Post, HitFilm Pro and DaVinci Resolve. But the graphics renderings are pretty cool in Filter Forge - and with the relatively new ability of creating animations in Filter Forge 11 that leads me in this direction. I realize that some of this capability might be available in ThePluginSite apps or Plugin Commander Pro. And yes I know I might be able to do this in Blender, but that seems like overkill. I don't think Blender would be as good at generating textures or animated textures or filters as FilterForge.

Yes, regrettably for now there seems to be no news about including support for text or font rendering, I mean writing a whole text with custom fonts inside FF because It would need that FF is compatible with vectors, because the fonts themselves are vectorial

YOU CAN USE BITMAP FONTS in FF unless you use bitmap fonts with PNG transparency where FF is already compatible and possible now but you must build the words yourself manually
Inside FF or you know scripting It is should be possible perhaps to make full words automatically as it happens with scripting in After effects for bitmap fonts

Would it be possible to have a TEXT import into FF as a component?

There are others threads about this topic if you search un forum for fonts por vector support

Yes I figured I could import images of individual fonts. In some ways that might be better - for typography tricks. The reason why I want text is I want to animate it or morph it, etc with FilterForge! It seems like the power of FilterForge might exceed some of the other animation tools, not sure but I think so. I know it is a tool for images, but I see its use for making animations for videos. I thought it well worth it to get the Studio version for that reason.
