You can animate the timeline, tweak the overall scale and height and do the
obvious rendertree corrections. For anything beyond this you would need
Darktree.
Just as a humble wish: I would love to see Darktree integrated as rendertree
nodes. Agreed not to impressive on a feature sheet marketing wise but a
great every day tool and a quality extension for sure.
Cheers,
Felix
