animate between UPPERCASE and lowercase in one text layer with expression
Greetings folks!
I’m trying to animate between UPPERCASE and lowercase in one text layer. Is there an expression that could do this with a checkbox control maybe?
I’m trying to achieve a stop motion feel. Every 10 frames the text changes case. I created a base animation using the text animators (simple stuff like text sliding in/out). then pre-compd one with CAPS and another lowercase. In a comp above that, I animated between the two pre-comps with loop expressions and hold keyframes… thus switching between the two text cases.
I could work this way, but if the client changes anything it becomes tedious.
could you accomplish the same thing with expressions? Is there a better way?
Any leads much appreciated!

You can create a checkbox control. In this case, I named it “UpperCaseControl” and put this expression in the text expression field. Hope this helps!
if(effect("UpperCaseControl")("Checkbox") == 1){
text.sourceText.toUpperCase();
}else{
text.sourceText.toLowerCase();
}
