  • How to change font size in an older AE Version like CC19 by expression

    Posted by Detlef Maerz on June 30, 2023 at 9:02 am

    Hi Guys, this expression does not work in CC19 even when javaScript is chosen as Expression language.

    text.sourceText.style.setFontSize(100)

    I think .style does not exist in this version.

    Ani idea how to solve it?

    Assuming that upgrading to the latest version is not an option, I think you’re left with work-arounds, which could include scaling, or possibly a lot of different layers, each with its own font size, where they each get their source text from some input layer and each layer has an opacity expression to determine if it’s the visible one, based on a slider somewhere. Feasibility depends on your exact requirements…

    Thanks Dan! I’ve chose the option with different layers.
