Thanks so much Julian, this works perfect!

I’m trying to find a solution to aligning multiple text box rows horizontally to the center of the comp.
I have a bunch of these I need to create and ideally don’t want to be manually spacing them.

I’m using this expression on the position to create equal margins between each box though if text is edited it works from left to right throwing the…

Thanks Dan, yes! this simplifies things

Thanks so much Filip, this worked perfect

Hi Dan,

I was trying to achieve something similar to your classic delay expression but work on a single text layer using text animators

delay = 5; //number of frames to delay
d = delay*thisComp.frameDuration*(index - 1);
thisComp.layer(1).position.valueAtTime(time - d) 

I want to be able to delay the position for every text animator in the stack. Like…

Looking to make a delay + index expression work with a text animator.
I’m guessing this needs PropertyGroup adding somewhere though was struggling to find much online.

Was looking for the position of ‘Letter 2’ to delay ‘Letter 1’ and keep incrementing when duplicated

Thanks so much for the quick response Dan this worked perfect

Is it possible to apply an index expression to the start and end values of a range selector.

I want to be able to achieve what is highlighted in the screengrab without having to manually update each value.

Thanks so much Dan, this worked perfect when each layer has its own rotation.

Do you know if there is a simple way to make this work when the rotation is being controlled via a single null?

I’m trying to get the rotation value of each text layer but by default this pulls in the overall rotation rather than based on 360 degrees.

For example once hitting the top spot this should reset to 0 rather carrying on 360+

To achieve this i’m using thisLayer.transform.rotation.value.toFixed(0); on each text layer though this requires each layer to…

This works perfect, thank you so much Andrei

Hi,

I’m trying to limit the amount of characters displayed in Source Text to always 9 + auto animate the position from right to left (position needs to jump from a single character at a time) like the below example ideally with some kind of speed control.

Would normally use an opacity range selector or a mask + position loopOut but both of these…

Thank you Dan this worked perfectly

Thanks so much for your reply Dan, i’m getting the below warning. Any ideas?

I also forgot to mention the source text has been added via Essential Properties, is that likely to make a difference.

Hello,

I have several hundred layers I want to pick whip the source text to via a main control comp.The layers in the control comp are named sequentially ‘layer_01, layer_02, layer_03″ etc

comp(“Text Controller”).layer(“layer_01”).text.sourceText

Is there a way to apply a single expression to all layers that will reference the one above and add a +1…

Thanks for your reply Dan, I’m still getting a bit of overlap any thoughts?

Thanks for your reply Andrei,

Looks like there is still an overlap, i’m getting the following error on the last line in the stack. Any ideas?

Hi,

Is it possible for multiple layers to randomly move across a single axis and not touch or overlap each other. My first instinct was to use a wiggle but I can’t seem to find anything for it to detect other layers, is this possible using something more advanced?

Gif of what I am trying to achieve.

Thanks.

Worked perfectly, thanks so much Dan

Hi, I am trying to add two slider controls to a single text layer to have independent control over two values. e.g

100,200

(100 slider 1)
(200 slider 2)

I need a comma separating the two values with 0 decimal places

Many thanks
