  Text & Text Box Expression

  Posted by Jeff Horowitz on May 21, 2014 at 2:45 pm

  I’ve been using this expression to tell a text box to disappear when there’s no text: thisComp.layer(1).text.sourceText.length>0?100:0

  But I have three layers, and I want an expression that tells the box only to disappear when both texts disappear:

  1: text box shape layer
  2: text 1
  3: text 2

  

  thisComp.layer(1).text.sourceText.length>0?100:0

  This should work:

  ((thisComp.layer(1).text.sourceText.length > 0) || (thisComp.layer(2).text.sourceText.length > 0)) ? 100 : 0
