  Link text box width to another text layer

  Posted by Valentin Macke on February 4, 2021 at 1:04 pm

  Hi there! I’m trying to set up a text composition rig, where one text box follows the size of another one. I have text layer A and B, whereas A is the “master layer”. I should always be able to double click text layer A and adjust the text box width (which doesn’t change the text size, it simply narrows the lines) and layer B should follow. Is there an option to do that? Not sure if that is a value I can program – I assume it’s not the same as SourceRectAtTime.

  I’m thinking there must be a way to bypass that by creating an invisible control text layer with “justify all” enabled in the paragraph settings and taking that as a source.

  Thank you for any tips 🙂
