they are in animation presets for text, its called slide up by word. here is a project to help you get started, you adjust what you need to customize it.

this is great !!!!!

Thanks Dan !!!

thanks so much for the clarification

[Adam Greenberg]

Thanks so much Filip, I am testing it now, so first I obviously need to replace the 2nd line with

l = thislayer;

if i want the layer to scale up to the comp.

so with my first 2 tests work perfectly ( although the scale is showing a negative value – but it is displaying correctly, so I dont understand how that can be )

but on a graphic that has 50 pixels of transparency all around it, it is not filling the screen and is inverted due to the negative value.

here is a link if you would like to see

We can thank Dan and Kevin for these methods.

( if they help you )

better than ease ?

Oh I see. There is a post in this forum that will allow to have more control over the animation curve if that is what you were looking for. Let me see if I can find it. In fact I remember saving a project that had 3 ways of doing this, and you pick the one that works best. I’ll check now and post back when I find it.

ok this finds the bottom in case anyone needs it; ( thanks Filip )

posterizeTime(0);

const l = thisComp.layer(“TITRE_SHOW”);

const w = l.width;

const h = l.height;

const heightLog2 = Math.ceil(Math.log(h)/Math.log(2));

const threshold = 1; // on average 1 pixel in a row is opaque to count as the bottomEdge;

var bottomEdge = h;

for(i=heightLog2; i>-1; i–) { let partition = 2 ** i; let s = l.sampleImage([w / 2, bottomEdge-partition/2], [w / 2, partition/2], false, time); if (s[3]<=threshold/(w*partition)) bottomEdge-=partition; }

[960, l.toComp([w/2, bottomEdge])[1]+50];

[Adam Greenberg]

I have tried this but Im not sure it’s the most accurate way;

[960, (h-l.toComp([w/2, topEdge])[1]+50) ];

[Adam Greenberg]

Filip, just for the math, could we do the same to find the bottom pixel and place something underneath ?
