Parenting text layers to other text layers

[Sebastien Bruzzo]

Thank you very much ! 😄

One more question about this example, if you’d allow me :
in case the “other layer” is parented to another one, how would that change the expression ?

Thanks 😉

That would be like this:

gap = 20;
L = thisComp.layer("other layer");
r = L.sourceRectAtTime(time,false);
p = L.toComp(L.anchorPoint);
hisRight = p[0] + (r.left + r.width - L.anchorPoint[0])*L.scale[0]/100;
r = sourceRectAtTime(time,false);
myLeft = position[0] + (r.left - anchorPoint[0])*scale[0]/100;
delta = hisRight - myLeft;
value + delta + gap
