  Combine 3 source text layers in 1 source text layer on 3 lines

  Posted by Yvonne Van de kop on August 21, 2021 at 6:25 am

  Hi there,

  Is it possible to combine 3 separate text lines in 1 source text on 3 lines like the screenshot?

  If I do the expression like below it just puts everything in one line.

  Please help

  Note: Building a template for promo gfx. An other asset must be on one and this title has a specific scripted animation so I need it to be in one text source. If it’s not possible I’ll make 3 separate text layers.

  R1 = comp("24K_Promo_Control").layer("First line").text.sourceText;
  R2 = comp("24K_Promo_Control").layer("second line").text.sourceText;
  R3 = comp("24K_Promo_Control").layer("third line").text.sourceText;
  R1 + //first line
  R2 + // second line
  R3 // third line

  You just need to add a couple of carriage returns:

  R1 = comp("24K_Promo_Control").layer("First line").text.sourceText;
  R2 = comp("24K_Promo_Control").layer("second line").text.sourceText;
  R3 = comp("24K_Promo_Control").layer("third line").text.sourceText;
  R1 + "\r" + R2 + "\r" + R3
