Thanks Pauljs75 your input is very much appreciated, always with good wealth of information.

On Sunday I had a breakthrough with the waving/sine wave scroll text.  As you mentioned it was a bit of trial and error but I think I got the formula now, but I still have to figure out the timing.  Because as it stands now, the speed of the text scrolling will depend on the length of the text.  So for example if I have a 40 Second Clip and 20 Words  0 seconds will be the start of the first word and 40 seconds will be the last word in that 20 word sentence.  If I decide to use 40 words instead the speed of the scroll text will increase.   So I was going to make some kind of a chart, to tell me depending on how many words, and how fast I want the text to scroll how long the clip should be.

Having the metaball particle flow over invisible objects is a great idea.  I was going to try and have it fall over the actual wavy text and see how it looked.

Now for the PyCarrara.  I was thinking of several Cubes rotating on the XYZ axis, like the video I posted a few weeks back.  Smaller cubes place around everything, and make them grow in size with the beat while at the same time rotating. :)

Although I only know about 2% of what Carrara is capable of doing, I like the fact that It can do some of the ideas that I can think of.

The end result of all these ideas that I'm experimenting with will result in a 3 minute video, some of which I haven't shown publicly.
