  Batch Resize Paragraph Text

  Posted by Vernon Notsky on January 19, 2022 at 7:44 am

  Does anybody know of any scripts that will batch resize paragraph text? I’m hoping I can find/buy one and save myself the trouble of writing one. Basically, I need all of 1000 different blocks of paragraph text across 50 compositions to be resized.

  This should do it. Select your compositions in the project panel and run this. Replace [100,200] on row 13 with what values you need

  function changeParagraphSize(myComp,newSize) {
      for (var i = 1; i <= myComp.numLayers; i++) {
          var crtLayer = myComp.layer(i);
          var t = crtLayer("ADBE Text Properties")("ADBE Text Document");
          var td = t.value;
          td.boxTextSize = newSize;
          t.setValue(td);
      }
  }
  function changeParagraphSizeInProject(){
      var comps = app.project.selection;
      for(var i=0; i<comps.length; i++){
          changeParagraphSize(comps[i],[100,200])
      }
  }
  changeParagraphSizeInProject();
