  • Selecting a piece of the text using sliders/expression controls or expressions (layer) then highlight it/delete and/or replace it

    Posted by Tom Granberg on July 26, 2017 at 9:49 pm

    I tried hooking up the slider controls to the fill color attribute, and I am getting what I want from that as far as highlighting a chunk of the text (start/end & ofset)
    However I would also love to delete a selected chunk of the text at a given frame (keyed) I can do it the hardcore way keyframing the Source text parameter. But that becomes a fixed proposition, I would love a way to use an expression where the 37th-68th word is deleted and/or replaced by “skhdfb-random- gibberish vjshdfbvjsdfh” ata given time.

    Anyone know a good trick to accomplish this?
