Ahhh, that makes sense. Thank you again for taking the time to help, this is extremely useful!

Hello again,

I’ve just noticed there’s an issue with the subheading text layer – it seems to misalign with the box when more text is added. Do you know why this might be?

Thanks,

Helen

This is brilliant, thanks so much for this! Really appreciate the help 🙂

Thanks for getting back to me John.

Yes, here are the expressions I have in each text box’s rectangle path properties:

For the size, I’ve used this expression:

margin = 40

b = thisComp.layer(‘SUBHEADING TEXT’);

w = b.sourceRectAtTime(time-b.inPoint,true).width;

h= b.sourceRectAtTime(time-b.inPoint,true).height;

x= w + margin*2;

y = h + margin*2;

[x,y]

Hi CC Community,

I’m making a MOGRT where there needs to be a heading and a subheading, and both are in text boxes.

I need help writing expression(s) to shift the position of the subheading box depending on the number of lines of text in the heading box so the distance between the heading and subheading boxes remain the same.

Screen shot of the two…

I see! That’s fixed it. Thanks so much for explaining this!

That’s worked! Thank you. The only issue now, is that when I change the speed on the speed slider (range from 1-5s), it messes with the animation again. Do you know if there’s a way around this?

Thanks again for all of your help so far!

P.S. Thanks for getting back to me on this!

Hmm, it looks like it’s still looks like the Text Animator isn’t working with that expression in the Anchor Point. Do you know why that might be?

Hi Yoan,

Thanks for this! I managed to find another method in the end, but this script will be really useful for next time!

Thanks,

Helen

Hi, I’m trying to create a MGRT where the speed of the type animation can be adjusted with a slider depending on the number of lines in the piece of text. I’d be using this alongside an anchor point expression (to lock the text to the centre of the screen regardless of the no. of lines).

For context, each line will be fading on with an Opacity…

Hi, I’m trying to create a MGRT where the text box is always centre aligned, no matter how long the piece of text, and I have an expression to do this, but when I try to pair it with a Text Animator, it ruins the animation. Is anyone able to help with this please? I’ve included a screen shot of the type of text animation I’m using (Position…

That’s great, thanks a lot for your help. So kind of you!!!

Thank you so much for this!! Annoyingly I’m getting an error message when I convert the .mogrt files into a .aep format to try to open the project though. Would you mind sending it over so I can change the font, and have a look at adjusting it please? (To be clear, I mean the actual After Effects project).

Thank you, I really appreciate the help! Sorry to ask, but would it actually be possible to have a version where you can adjust the line spacing too after all please? I’ve just tried it with a comma, and there’s an overlap. Unless this is something that is covered in the tutorial, in which case I can have a go with it 🙂

Just like in the example is fine, there’s no need to change the line distance

Thank you John! No, it would need to be any amount up to 6 lines. Is there a way to make it so this is adjustable too?

Does anyone know how to write an expression to create a MOGRT of this (attached) text animation? I would like each line to animate on one by one from the bottom, and I’ve used an anchor point expression to ensure any new type entered into the box appears this way, but when I try to use a Range Selector in the Opacity Animator to programme this,…
