Scripting question: Change text layer size depending on text length
Scripting question:
I need a script that resizes a text layer depending on the length of the text.
I’m already using a script that allows my text to auto update depending on the name of the comp ( compName = comp(” “).name; )
What I need it to be able to change the comp name so it updates the text layer name, but resizes it depending on the length of the text.I’ve tried a few versions of the sourceRect but none seem to work.
Any advice?

I’m not sure about updating the layer name but if you need something that resizes text to a size you can try this:
w = (thisComp.width / thisLayer.sourceRectAtTime().width)*90;
h = (thisComp.height / thisLayer.sourceRectAtTime().height)*90;
if(w<100){
[w,w];
}else{
[100,100];
}Changing the width and height numbers in the first 2 lines will decide the scale of the text within a specific comp size. Hope this helps.
