  Point Control expression that follows the bottom of a text layer

  Posted by Eduard Radu on November 10, 2019 at 10:56 am

  I need a Point Control to follow the bottom of a text layer even when I change the scale, font size and position of the text. I manage to make a mess with sourceRectAtTime() where everything works except when I change the font size.

  Thanks,
  Eduard

  This should put it at the bottom middle of the text:

  L = thisComp.layer(“text”);
  r = L.sourceRectAtTime(time,false);
  fromComp(L.toComp([r.left+r.width/2,r.top+r.height]))

  That is exactly what I need.
  Thank you for your time Dan. I greatly appreciate it.
