  • How to print text in Source Text of a text layer?

    Posted by Ness Lange on March 14, 2021 at 9:02 pm

    I’ve connected the source text of the text layer to a slider, whose values are rising, simply:

    Expression: Source Text
    n = effect("Slider Control")("Slider").value; 
    n.toFixed(1)

    The indexing around it should also replace the round function that can’t easily round to a specific digit for whatever reason. Anyway what I really like to do now is printing a percentage sign behind the numbers. I don’t know whether the source text is made for printing words at all, but maybe you can declare it for me.

    It’s just

    n = effect("Slider Control")("Slider").value;
    n.toFixed(1) + "%"

    In the end
