Make text work automatically
I have a source text import from a spreadsheet.
I want it to be in a paragraph text box.
“If the length of text is longer than 450 px then the font size is 55
if the length of text is shorter than 450 px the font size is 75.”
How do i make impression for this?
Or is there any other way without expression?
Thank you all very much. -

Unfortunately, you cannot adjust the font size directly, but you can adjust the scale.
Try this expression on your text layer’s scale:
y=thisLayer.sourceRectAtTime().height;
s = linear(y,450,1000,55,75);
[s,s]y is the height of the text layer.
linear is AE’s range mapper expression. 450 is the lower threshold, 1000 the top and then 55 and 75 are the percentages to output. Between 450 and 1000 the scale will be somewhere inbetween 55 and 75.
[s,s] puts the same scale value for the width and height.

Thanks but when I tried this, but nothing changes when i input any amount of text.

How’s about changing it to number of words?

Graham’s expression was looking at height, but it sounds like you want to use width. Graham’s expression also very elegantly scaled as the width increased, but if you really want it to just click over, set the type size to 75 and try this instead:
if (thisLayer.sourceRectAtTime(time).width <= 450) { [100,100] } else { [73.33, 73.33] };It’ll work like this:
