Wow, thanks for the help Tomas! I don’t know why, when I pasted the expression, it keeps giving me error ” SyntaxError: Unexpected token = ”
I already tried to fix it but couldn’t make it work, even deleting some parts, it keeps giving me this error.

Me and a friend came up with a expression that also worked, but it only resizes the text. When we use it, we can’t pull the text from another layer like we should be able to. We can’t link the sourceText to a layer on the “Data” comp like I explained before, After Effects seems to just ignore if we try.

The expression we came up with was this one:

minSize = 100;
maxSize = 10;
factor = 1.5;
l = thisLayer.text.sourceText.length;
size = Math.max(minSize, maxSize – (l / factor));
style.setFontSize(size);

Hey Tomas, thanks for the reply again.
I guess it could have more lines but ocuppying the same amount of space so the design won’t get ruined. Sorry, I don’t know if I’m being clear, this is all new to me haha.

The blue line is already responsive to the textbox height. ( very proud of myself on this one haha)

Thanks again.

Thank you Tomas!

We’re right now limiting the client around 50 or 150 chars as maximum lenght at our platform, but even this way, some text boxes cut the text. If we could estipulate 200 or even 300 as a max number it would be perfect. From our early tests, it would rarelly get to that length.

For example, in this image the textbox is 30 chars long, but is a hotel template. The client might want to put more information about the rooms price. Maybe 50/60 chars?

I’ve never used textPoint before. Our clients fill kind of a form with the texts they want and the platform translates that to AE. Would that way work with textPoint?
