The idea is to use Transform and use keyframes to controls movements.

You can use scale, rotation or (x,y) positions to create text movements. By this way you can make text enter from the sides, above or below. And make them leave the scene accordingly. If you use Rotation with keyframes, you can achieve text wobble effects as well.

The ability to select multiple layers is a great addition. But many options like Hue won't work when we do that.

I was able to change the colour of multiple layers only when I added these layers into a Layer Group. But when I tried Hue, I was not able to save it for multi selection.
