Is it possible to edit each individual letter in a text layer? How is this done?
Thanks

What do you mean “edit each individual letter”? Do you want each letter to have a different size, rotation, scale, color? You could do all of that if you were so inclined by using the a lot of text animators.

Yes that is what I mean – to change size, color, rotation of each letter within the same text..!!

Color/Size can be done with the character/paragraph window-just highlight a letter and change the font size and color. If that was it, you are done. If you wanted them to continue to change over time, that would require text animators and a lot of them, you would have to select your start and end for each letter and apply the correct animator (though there are some presets that will randomonly do this).
Rotation would require animators regardless as the character/paragraph window won’t let you rotate text.
Finally there is another option you might want to check out – the Decompose Text Script at AEScripts. You select your text and run this script and it will break out each letter and put it on a seperate layer. Depending on what you want to do, it could be pretty helpful.
