    Hi there,

    If i have two text-layer, is it possible that the first text layer follows the second with a certain space between the layers?

    If you are using Keyframes to move the text just copy the keyframes and then paste them to the other text and move the keyframes over a little.

    Thank you for the fast reply!

    I have got build a credit-roll where the different layers of text are among each other. so there’s a certain vertical gap from one text-layer to the next. But what happens, if one layer suddenly contains 2 lines of text..? ..the vertical gap should be as big as before..like an “Autofollow”..

    seems to be a little tricky..
    Thx!

    For credits place all of your text in a group. Add the scroll behavior to the group (can access Motion to look up exact name of behavior) and everything moves at the same speed.
