A new 'scroll' animation type. Now you can scroll text vertically, horizontally or into and out of the screen, with full control over the speed.  Both the scroll and new scroll in & out animations are perfect for movie and video opening titles and closing credits (export as AVI, compatible with any movie software).

Xara 3D Maker 7 can export animations with a transparent background in a proprietary format called CFX which can be imported into MAGIX slideshow and movie editing software, Photostory on CD & DVD 9 and Movie Edit Pro 17. Which makes 3D Maker the perfect choice for creating overlaid 3D captions for movies or slideshows produced in MAGIX software.

A 'View options' panel which gives additional advanced control over the X/Y position of an image against its background, allows you to precisely change the angle of rotation and viewpoint, and offers a new wireframe mode which can simplify the display and speed up animation viewing time.

Official Win 7 compatibility. Also optionally for Windows 7 rarely used fonts are hidden to unclutter the font list.

You can now cut and paste your 3D images to Microsoft Word and other programs.

A second new 'scroll in/out' animation type, which includes separate control over how the text enters and leaves the screen - so for example it could scroll in slowly from the right, hesitate and then exit quickly upwards!

7 new bevel types, increasing even further the range of different styles you can create.

Automatic save and restore of the current design on program exit and start-up, or on Windows shutdown.

Instant access to over 700 ready made Xara 3D Maker samples via a new Open Samples option in the File menu.
