  Controlling weight and other axis of the variable fonts

  Posted by kristjan dekleva on November 9, 2020 at 2:54 pm

  Hi,

  Is there a way to control variable font parameters/axis with expressions?

  As of today i know that aftereffects still dont have official variable fonts support, but there are plugins like varifont (https://aescripts.com/varifont/) that can control them.

  Im sorry if this has been asked before, but as ive been looking I havent fount anything.

  An expression can only be applied to something that is keyframe-able to begin with.

  So, if the vari-font plugin has keyframe-able paramaters like weight or slant that just expect a number, then they should be perfectly capable of being driven by an expression.
