  • Control Text Size via expression?

    Posted by Adam Lewen on June 20, 2018 at 12:25 pm

    Hi. I thought It would be easy to find the answer online….but….
    I have a couple of dozen Comps, each has 2 text layers (lower thirds)
    What’s a right way of controlling font size (and if possible, font and font style) via expression?

    Any tip is greatly appreciated
    Thanks!

    I don’t believe you have access to the character panel values via expression, but I might be wrong.

    I think you can only control the text animator functions, so your going to have to work with multiple boxes for typeface and opacity to show/hide, and anchorPoint/scale for sizing.
