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]

For the position I’ve used this expression:

margin = 50

margin = 40

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

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

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

text_height = (h + margin*2);

[0, text_height/2]

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,
