Contain Path Text to Path

100- linear(text.pathOption.lastMargin,312,1510,0,100)
Where 312 is the Left Margin value where text starts falling out of the path and 1510 is the value where the text completely falls out of the path. These values will vary for you.

Please look into the attached project file to see where that expression was added.

hi arthur

this is really great! and VERY CLOSE to exactly what i’m looking for. thank you very much indeed.

is there a way to

a) have this at the start of the path too? so text before the first point is switched off.

b) the fade out at the end of the line is very elegant – and i will use that in places – but is there a way to make the letters switch off abruptly without a fade?

thank you again for your help with this. fyi it’s for a non-profit video about nutrition.

Hi, Matthew.
Yes, there is a way to do all of those things, but I’m busy right now. If no one else posts the solution by the time I’m free, I’ll provide you with an updated sample that does all of those things.

All right, Matthew, so here’s an updated file, which more or less should do what you were looking for:

I set up a controller for you to specify the min/max margin overflow points after editing text. However, there’s an excess/shortage error that I couldn’t resolve because I was unable to figure out what to attribute it to.
Maybe someone else can help with that one.
I’d encourage to dissect the expressioned attributes to see what’s going on.
Sorry 🙁
