Select specific character expression
Hi,
so I found a great expression suggested by Dan on an older threads:
https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/227/29814and it works almost perfectly, the only catch is that it is soooo slow, AE almost freezes.
Anyone knows why would that happens and how to fix it ?Thanks

The longer your text, the slower it will be, as every letter is evaluated for every frame.
If the text doesn’t need to change from frame to frame, you can precomp and freeze frame. You can still manipulate the layer in various ways.

Hi thanks,
If I precomp I lose the ability to animate the text with the text animator….
Is there a way to bake only the expression selector ?
