Setting a min length while using sourceRectAtTime
Hello everybody.
Is there a way to set a minimum length for a shape layer while having it change length according to a text layer?
E.g. Length = y but not shorter than x
It would look something like this.
And the other question would be if i have two shape layers that both change their length depending on text layers 1 and 2(with the sourceRectAtTime expression) then can I have shape layer 1 always be longer than shape layer 2 regardless of the length of the text?

you can use a Math.max() function… it would allow you to select the greater value of either A or B…
say you had this:
A = 100 ;
B = 20;
Math.max( A, B )it would return 100, since 100 is larger than 20.
so if you had this:
A = 100 ;
B = sourceRectAtTime().width ;
W = Math.max( A, B )if B was less than 100, W would equal 100, if B was greater than 100, then W would equal B
Just FYI, Math.min() works the same but returns the smaller value.

Thanks, this worked perfectly.
