  Position based on text length

  Posted by Aaron Lenius on October 27, 2015 at 1:42 am

  I have text layer tied to a NULL that is animated (position, left to right movement)

  The NULL always stops in the same place.

  I need the NULL to start in a different position based on how long the word is (how many characters in the word)

  If the word is longer I need the NULL to start it’s animation closer to the end goal. (So the word stays on screen where it starts.

  So is there a way, via expressions, to determine the length of a text item and then change the starting position of a NULL but maintain it’s stopping position?

  or maybe the NULL always moves the same distance but the anchor point or attachment point to the NULL of the text layer changes depending on it’s length.
