You can create a custom curve effect from the "Special" Effect submenu.

You have the same [phases](https://docs.febucci.com/text-animator-unity/effects/how-to-edit-effects/phases "mention")settings, and in addition it's important to notice the "**Weight**" curve (which goes from 0 to 1 and should loop if you want a seamless effect).

We are working to add new properties from the next versions as well!&#x20;

{% hint style="success" %}
Thanks to Text Animator 3.0 and the new Core Library, effects *data* is separated from *implementation*, meaning that we can improve the backend/structure without altering your data! (or provide better porting steps/auto-fixes anyways)!
