Textbox, align text vertically to bottom

[Andrei Popa]

Add this to the anchor point. I hope this is what you are looking for

var left = sourceRectAtTime(time,false).left;
var top = sourceRectAtTime(time,false).top;
var myWidth = sourceRectAtTime(time,false).width;
var myHeight = sourceRectAtTime(time,false).height;
var x = left;
var y = top + myHeight;
[x,y]

The expression above didn’t work for me the one I got from Reddit worked. I pasted the expression below and the link to the post in case the formatting is messed up when I pasted

// get size of layer. Returns obj with { left, top, width, height }
var b = sourceRectAtTime(time,true);

// correct for scaled layers.
b.left *= scale[0]/100;
b.top *= scale[1]/100;
b.width *= scale[0]/100;
b.height *= scale[1]/100;

// stick anchor at horizontal center, vertical bottom.
[b.left + b.width/2 , b.top + b.height]

// You could also use this to lock at bottom left:
// [b.left , b.top + b.height]

I might be doing something wrong or it may have changed in AE but this didn’t work for me

is your anchor point set at the bottom ?
