Expressions to edit and access text properties
I was looking at “Use expressions to edit and access text properties”(https://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/user-guide.html/after-effects/using/expressions-text-properties.ug.html) … which is cool, but I don’t see a way to set styles for only some characters/words with a text layer.
Is there any way to do this? Like change the font of the 2nd word?
You can use
SourceText.getStyleAt(charIndex, t = time)to grab a character’s style props, but I want to set a character’s props.More useful info here: https://ae-expressions.docsforadobe.dev/text-sourcetext.html

Unfortunately you can only change the style for the entire layer right now. I hope that in a future version Adobe would at least make it possible to change the font via text animators. Until then, all you can do is change the size/tracking/stroke of the font to mimic a bigger/bolder font. If the fonts you want to use are different typefaces entirely, I’m afraid there is no solution.
