AE Expressions Paragraph textfields width

Posted by Tudor Baican on May 24, 2021 at 1:16 am

Hello Friends,

my little script should set the text width of my paragraph textfields.

So far so good, it seems to work but it compute very very slow. If I select just two text objects I wait about 5 sec for the process.

Someone here who can optimize that?

Thanks

Tudor

...
for (var i = 0; i < mySelectedLayers.length; i++) {
        if(mySelectedLayers[0] instanceof TextLayer){
            var myText = mySelectedLayers[i].property("Source Text");
            var myTextDocument = myText.value;
            if (myTextDocument.boxText == true){
                myTextDocument.boxTextSize = [300, 300];
            }else{
                alert("Convert your Text Layer to Paragraph Text!");
            };
            myText.setValue(myTextDocument);
        };
    };

This code looks to be just about as compact as it can be, and it runs nearly instantaneously on my system, even with a lot more layers selected.

I seems that if the paragraph textfields, consisting of a text section with many words > 30 it run very slow.
