That generates flash-output? For free? (thats all I've heard of swish, never used it though) no, but you might be able to track down "Logomotion" from a few years back for free by now, it did that sorta stuff. But I think livemotion/flash are our only alternatives.

If you want to open your purse there are Flash, Director and AfterEffects. All are spendy.

Swish is not freeware. I don't know of any free solutions.

However,
One mac alternative is SWfX available from <a href="http://www.wildform.com" target="_blank">Wildform</a>

Another alternative is to use Swish, Flax, etc. with VirtualPC. I tried Flax on VPC with a slow G3 and it ran just fine.

The novelty of cool text effects quickly wears off though.

Not free, but certainly cheaper than After Effects or other programs like it, and creates effects that looks a lot like Swish. I personally find a lot of the included animated text effects cheesy, but they can be useful at times.
