  Text animator offset expression to react to source text

  Posted by Otávio Nascimento on October 16, 2022 at 8:07 pm

  I need a expression to make 2 animators offsets to always adjust to the selected number of characters I set in the offset. So when I type more characters the range selector only affects the number of characters I set previously. I have 2 animators with range selector (square). One set to 80 and other to -80.

  When I animate the source text with a slider, the offset still selecting the same number of characters.

  Make sure Range is index-based:

  Animator > Range > Advanced Settings > Based on: Index

  For me, the numbers do not change when I edit the text?

  But when the animator is percentage based (the default), the 80% of the characters is indeed depnding on how much text you have typed.
