  start second shape at the end of first shape

  Posted by Saso Goricar on March 5, 2018 at 8:17 pm

  Hello,

  I’m creating lower third in AE. I have two shapes in line one after another. I would like that second shape starts exactly at the end of the first shape. First shape is auto resizable because of text lenght. How can I do this? Is there an expression for this?

  Thanks for the help.

  PS: I found this expression here that I’m using it for auto resize first shape:

  Rectangle 1 position:
content("Rectangle 1").content("Rectangle Path 1").size/2

  Rectangle 1 size:
  s =thisComp.layer("TEXT");
  x = s.sourceRectAtTime(time-s.inPoint,true).width;
  y = s.sourceRectAtTime(time-s.inPoint,true).height;

  [x,y]
