  How to print text in Source Text of a text layer?

  Posted by Ness Lange on March 14, 2021 at 9:02 pm

  I’ve connected the source text of the text layer to a slider, whose values are rising, simply:

  Expression: Source Text

  n = effect("Slider Control")("Slider").value; 
  n.toFixed(1)

  The indexing around it should also replace the round function that can’t easily round to a specific digit for whatever reason. Anyway what I really like to do now is printing a percentage sign behind the numbers. I don’t know whether the source text is made for printing words at all, but maybe you can declare it for me.

  It’s just

  n = effect("Slider Control")("Slider").value;
  n.toFixed(1) + "%"

  In the end
