Expression to get Gradient Ramp to follow text size.
Hi guys is there an expression to get a gradient ramp effect to adjust to the size of the text. So if the text is shorter or longer then the ramp would adjust to it.
Also is there an expression i can use to get the gradient ramp to follow moving text as currently I can only achieve it with adding a gradient overlay from layer styles and there for I lose the ability to connect the colors to a color control?Thanks in advance

I guess you only need the answer for the first question. That alone would make it follow the text anyway.
if you mean horizontally then:
start of ramp
L = thisLayer;
rect = L.sourceRectAtTime(time,false);
x = L.toComp([rect.left,0])[0];
y = L.toComp([rect.left,0])[1];
[x,y]end of ramp
L = thisLayer;
rect = L.sourceRectAtTime(time,false);
x = L.toComp([rect.left+rect.width,0])[0];
y = L.toComp([rect.left,0])[1];
[x,y]If you want vertically then:
L = thisLayer;
rect = L.sourceRectAtTime(time,false);
x = L.toComp([rect.left+rect.width/2,0])[0];
y = L.toComp([rect.height,0])[1];
[x,y]L = thisLayer;
rect = L.sourceRectAtTime(time,false);
x = L.toComp([rect.left+rect.width/2,0])[0];
y = L.toComp([rect.height,-150])[1];
[x,y]This are the results of me messing with code posted by someone (probably Dan) somewhere here. I’ve used before, its not perfect but it works.
