Two-Line Lower Third Title Help Please!
Hello Folks,
I could really use some help here. I have a Lower Third (L3) set up so the background shape resizes according to text length for both name and title using SourceRectAtTime. However, for the life of me, I cannot figure out a way to make the background shape for the title to resize accordingly when the title text is too long and it needs to fit into two lines. I am hoping it is something pretty easy to fix. I plan to deliver them as MOGRTs for use in Premiere Pro. I am attaching screenshots of when it works perfectly in a one-line title and another screenshot when it doesn’t resize for a two-line title. I am also including Dropbox link to the actual AE file for anyone to analyze and help me. Perhaps it’s right in front of me and I am just missing it. Thanks a lot in advance!

You’ve got it all, you’re just missing sourceRectAtTime().height, which if you add to your TitleBgHeight slider, so it becomes:
thisComp.layer(“SpeakerTitle”).sourceRectAtTime().height + effect(“TitleMargins”)(“Slider”)
Obviously you might want to add a separate adjustment, but it worked straight away for me.
