That did the trick, thanks Dan!

Genius. I’ll be honest, it’s gonna take a me a bit to go through and follow what’s happening, but overall it seems to work! It does however seem to be adding a space as the very first character of the text layer. I THINK it’s caused by the line that puts spaces between the split up words (newLine += ” ” + splt[i];) , but I will try and work around it. Thank you Dan for your incredibly fast and extremely useful response.

Here’s something tricky…in the previous linked post, you found a way to skip the line break if it was in the middle of the word. I’ve been staring at the expressions for a while trying to combine to 2 to see if I can make it break before 20 characters if the 20th character is in the middle of a word. I think I may now be trying to punch above my weight, but is something like that possible?

ahh, good to know, thank you

This is great, having this written out really helps me break down what’s going on here. Thanks Dan!

[Jonathan Reyes]

Thanks Dan! that really helps, and now i finally get how to use that function

[Jonathan Reyes]

nevermind, figured it out. if i mess with the zoom setting i can get fairly close to the result i’m after.

[Jonathan Reyes]

thanks! i’ll give it a shot

[Jonathan Reyes]

Thanks very much Dan! works perfectly!

Thanks again for this wonderful expression. However, I was wondering how I can apply to this to time. For example, I have a clip that I want to Time Remap where it plays for 1 second, pauses for 5 seconds, resumes play for 1 second, pauses for another 5 seconds, etc. It seems like this expression would work with some tweaks, unfortunately I’m not the best at this and can’t figure it out. any help would be appreciated, thanks!
