Using source text to link two text layers, maintaining font weight
Hi there,
I’ve got a comp with 3 text layers, Text 1 & 2 are separated elements of the same sentence, and Text 3 is the sentence in full (broken down to animated elements). I’ve used the following expression to write Text 3:
a=thisComp.layer(“TEXT 1 :”).text.sourceText;
b=thisComp.layer(“TEXT 2″).text.sourceText;text.sourceText=a+” “+b
It works a treat, however, TEXT 2 needs to be bold, with TEXT 1 being regular. Is there a way I can append the following to define the font styles of a and b…
a = style.setFont(“HalisR-Medium”)
b = style.setFont(“HalisR-Black”)I’m new to expressions so any advice is hugely appreciated!
Thanks,

You can define the font styles of Text 1 and Text 2. But Text 3 will not have 2 different text styles. It’s not yet possible to set multiple font styles to the same layer by expression. Hopefully Adobe will make that possible in a future update.

That’s a shame – thanks for your response. Hopefully they add it in, would be a useful feature!
