Multi-line box text effect
Hey guys
I’m searching for a solution for a text box in which the length of the box depends on the respective length of the line. Like in the example.
There are many tutorials in which the box (a rectangle) is formed around the entire text blog. But i didnt find yet a Multi-line Solution.
Thank You!

Thanks a lot Filip!
This was really something I was looking for.
Liked the video and downloaded the animation template.
Got some expression error messages. (Screenshot below)
Tried this in three different After Effects versions.
Any idea how I can solve this?

Yes, in the project settings make sure your JavaScript expressions engine is set to “JavaScript” and not to “legacy extendscript”

Hi Filip!
Could you please tell how you made the box to cover separate words (not the whole text line)..?
I am trying to achieve a similar effect…
But the best way for me, is to make a mask that covers a single word (from the text line), that is being revealed at the moment. I can define all the points of that mask using sourceRectAtTime() expression. But the problem is that its left side stays in the beginning of the text line. And I need it travel to the beginning of each next revealing word.
