Font family control thru all compositions in the project

[Tomas Bumbulevičius]

Hey Khalil, there is definitely a way to control these through expression – but you must ensure that all the texts are linked to your “controller” text.

There are two main options:
1. You do this through essential graphics panel;
2. You do this through expressions.

Depending what flexibility you are going to offer for a client, that will provide a path to follow. However, be aware that allowing such things like font sizes change, requires additional logic double check, in case if design overbleed its boundaries.

Hey Tomas,

Thank you for your kind reply.

I kind of solved it yesterday after some searches in such a way of expressions, but I hope there is a better way.

I typed an expression on all the text layers in the project to follow one of the text layer style.

The expression on all the layers Source Text is:

comp(“Calendar Day Box 35”).layer(“sunday”).text.sourceText.style;

So (“sunday”) is one of the layers in the composition called (“Calendar Day Box 35”)

So whatever I make changes in Character pallet in (“sunday”) layer it will be change on all other text which has this expression.

The url was: (https://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/using/expressions-text-properties.html) at (Main text layer) section.

Thank you again for your replay 🙂
