[Square Brackets] to change font style and size? IS IT POSSIBLE???
I am currently trying to find an expression that will allow me to change the font style and font size using square brackets. We have a platform that works as a bridge between a user and After Effects, so any text input is being completed through the API so the manual adjustment of specific characters or words is not available.
I have the above expression for changing a colour but cannot seem to find one to change both the font style and font size. Please see the colour expression below. This makes sense because I can then choose RGB FILL as an additional property to instruct AE to change the properties of text within square brackets.
SOURCE TEXT EXPRESSION:
str = text.sourceText;res1 = str.split(“[“).join(“\u200b”);res2 = res1.split(“]”).join(“\u200b”);
FILL RGB ANIMATOR EXPRESSION:
Start Expression:
txt = text.sourceText;zws = “\u200b”;
function getPosition(string, subString, index) { return string.split(subString, index).join(subString).length;}
val = getPosition(txt, ‘\u200b’, 1)Stop Expression:
txt = text.sourceText;zws = “\u200b”;
function getPosition(string, subString, index) { return string.split(subString, index).join(subString).length;}
val = getPosition(txt, ‘\u200b’, 2) -

Unfortunately, there’s no way to have multiple font styles in a single text layer once an expression has been applied to the source text.
