Expression X Scale follow the length text

[Dan Ebberts]

That’s a little vague. If the layer is a solid and you have a recent version of AE, it could be as simple as this:

L = thisComp.layer(“text”);
r = L.sourceRectAtTime(time,false);
x = (r.width/width)*100;
[x,value[1]]

or maybe this:

L = thisComp.layer(“text”);
r = L.sourceRectAtTime(time,false);
border = 10;
x = (r.width/width)*100 + 2*border;
[x,value[1]]
