Mogrt version of buzz words effect for Premiere Pro
Hi all,
I’m trying to build a mogrt file which will work like the out of the box buzzwords effect in AE.
So far, I have set up some 20 text layers which are hidden and will work as text fields and I have main text layer with ‘buzzwords’ expression that feeds from text fields 1-20.
My knowledge of expressions is rather basic but I got it to work somehow by altering the first line of expression to
buzz_words = (thisComp.layer(“1”).text.sourceText +’|’+ thisComp.layer(“b”).text.sourceText+’|’)
I realise if I set this up for 20 text layers, this would be rather lengthy code, do you have any recommendations for making this a little bit less so?
Thanks in advance.

What are the names of the 20 layers?

As an example, if the first 20 layers of your comp were the buzz words input layers, something like this should work:
startLayer = 1;
numLayers = 20;
buzz_words = "";
for (var i = startLayer; i <= numLayers; i++){
buzz_words += thisComp.layer(i).text.sourceText + (i < numLayers ? "|" : "");
} -
That one wasn’t quite right. This is better:
numLayers = 20;
startLayer = 1;
buzz_words = "";
for (var i = 0; i < numLayers; i++){
buzz_words += thisComp.layer(startLayer + i).text.sourceText + (i < numLayers-1 ? "|" : "");
}
