Text Expression for multiple styles and data values
Here is what I am trying to have AE do in an expression.
I have 3 different text inputs, 2 from a CVS data value, and one manual. I would like to apply a different style to each text item. Then have all 3 text items on one line.
TEXT A TEXT B TEXT C
Instead I am getting:
[object Object][object Object][object Object]
with no style changes. It will apply the expression if only one text line of code is used.
It will put the text in order, if there are no style codes used.
That am I missing.
V=style.setFont(“Arial-BoldMT”).setFontSize(50).setTracking(50).setFauxBold(1).setAllCaps(1).setText(footage(“HSH – AE Info.csv”).dataValue([2,0]));
H=style.setFont(“Arial-BoldMT”).setFontSize(50).setTracking(50).setFauxBold(1).setAllCaps(1).setText(footage(“HSH – AE Info.csv”).dataValue([2,1]));
M=style.setFont(“ArialMT”).setFontSize(50).setTracking(50).setFauxBold(0).setAllCaps(1).setText(” vs “);
(V) + (M) + (H)

An expression can’t set multiple styles for different parts of the same text layer. All characters get the same style. Probably the best you can do is use different text layers for each part and position them using sourceRectAtTime().
