    Posted by Adi Arusi on August 13, 2016 at 8:05 am

    hi all
    I have AE templaet with a text bounding box, The text changes every day
    the problem start when i have a lot of character and the text is cropped out of bounding box aria
    today i manualy change the font size and the line spacing every day

    I wonder if there’s a expression or script thet make the text, the character tracking and the line spacing resize and fit to the bounding box automatically No matter how many characther i have

    thanks all

    Hi Adi, you’ll have to center the anchor points at the top of both the text and the rectangle and remove the x offset by margin amount from the text position expression.

    Kalle,

    This is very helpful! Thank You!

    I see the two examples for both Left alignment to the bounding box and Center alignment to the bounding box, both of them work for me as i would expect.

    What I’m trying to do here is now get Right alignment to the bounding box, but regardless of what i do i cannot get it to work.

    What should i be modifying here? The position expression? The Anchor point of the text? Some combination of the two?

    Any feedback would be very helpful, thanks for the excellent pointers already!!
