Using a expression to change a paragraph alignment.
Hey, guys!
Recently, I’ve been exploring the new possibilities for text expressions in After Effects 2020. I am currently using this expression to change my font based on a value.

var array=[
“font-01”,
“font-02”,
“font-3”];
style.setFont(array[0])

My problem is. My second font (font-02) is supposed to be an Arabic font. Which should be aligned to the right instead of left like in most other languages like English, spanish etc.
So, is there anyway that I can achieve that with the new tools in AE2020? How can I modify this expression to make sure that the second font is always aligned to the right. And fonts 01 and 03 always aligned to the left?
var array=[
"font-01",
"font-02",
"font-3"];
style.setFont(array[0])

Hey Lucas, the question here also relies on actual positioning of your text layer.
Think about this – if you change alignment of a text to right, how and where it must be placed in your design / composition?
Ideally, you should better define two text layers – one for left alignment languages, other – right. And then switch their opacity based on font selection choice.
