Create responsive masks for multi lines text in After Effects
Hi, I would like to create responsive masks for each line of the text.
Here I refer to this video so I can create a responsive mask for one line text. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mhb1xy2GTD4&t=573s)
If I have a text with two or three lines, I want to set a separate mask for each line of text, how should the expression be written. I am thinking that sourceRectAt Time().height/textLines can be used. The key is that I don’t know the expression to get the number of text lines.
Here is what I wrote for the first line mask but it doesn’t work.

Actually, I figured out how to define how many lines of the text has. But you can see, masks are not that perfect.

You can use this animation preset of mine to get subsourcerect (source rect of individual characters, words or lines of a textlayer):
