  • Can I apply Text effects to images/objects

    Is it possible to apply text effects to a layer/object or image ?
    There is the Wheatfield.fxx text effects that comes with Aftereffects that I love to use on an image to make the image wiggle in the same way text does.

    Is it possible ?

    Text properties and layer properties are different so unless you (or someone) else thinks of a clever workaround, I’d say no.

    You could try applying the text effect to a text layer.
    Then use the expression pickwhip to link the appropriate properties of your object layer to the similar properties of the text layer.
