update multiple instances of same text layer
I have a text layer and an inverted copy acting as a reflection. Is there something like parenting that would allow me to update the original and have the copy update itself too?
Thanks

I am using the comps from spreadsheet script to update these text fields and anticipate creating about 75 to 100 lower thirds and question slides, so no I can’t copy and paste. Besides that would be too simple!

You could either precomp your text and use the text compositions as your layers.
Or you could tie the source text of the layers to be the same via expressions.
The first option is better, because then you can add gradients, bevels, etc.– The Great Szalam

The idea of an expression to tie the layers sounds good.
Can someone point me in the right direction? -
Reveal the Source Text property for both layers and pick whip the reflection source to the original source.

Didn’t realize that it was just that simple.
Thanks
