I did some tinkering and this is what I came up with.

I made this for someone on my team awhile back, hopefully it helps.

Try changing the “Video Rendering and Effects” from Cuda to OpenCL to Software and see if making that change helps. I had a similar issue in Media Encoder once, might help here too.

Ahh! You will probably need to change the expressions to match the Spanish equivalents. I’m not sure if that is automatic or not, check the name on the “gap” variable. Does effect name match the name you have? Twirl down the Layer to reveal all the expressions on Position.

Are you changing the value in the Effect Controls?

You can duplicate the layers to see how it works when you add more objects. Use the slider on the null to control the distance between each layer. The index value inside of “layer(index+1)” is looking at the layer below it. So if you change the stacking order it will alter how the position is calculated. I left some notes inside the expression to help you understand what is going on. As you will quickly figure out there is more than one to do something in AE, this is just one approach.

You can for sure learn it and it would actually be a good exercise that will help you further understand expressions. I can post an example tomorrow.

You can use a slider on a null to control the distance.
Then use index of a layer + slider to link everything together. This is all via expressions on the position of each layer.

You can use SourceRectAtTime to calculate the size of the text box. Once you get that you will be able manipulate the shape to move with the length of the text.
