I solved it with this expression:

// Kashida (Tatweel) Removal Expression

var originalText = “text here”;

var kashidaChar = String.fromCharCode(0x0640); // Arabic Tatweel ـ

// Get removal percentage from control layer

var removePercent = 0;

try {

removePercent = thisComp.layer(“Kashida Control Layer”).effect(“Remove Kashida %”)(“Slider”);

} catch (e) {

removePercent = 0;

}

// Find all Kashida positions

var kashidaPositions = [];

for (var i = 0; i < originalText.length; i++) {

if (originalText.charAt(i) === kashidaChar) {

kashidaPositions.push(i);

}

}

// Calculate how many Kashidas to remove

var totalKashidas = kashidaPositions.length;

var kashidasToRemove = Math.floor((removePercent / 100) * totalKashidas);

// Build new text by removing Kashidas proportionally

if (kashidasToRemove === 0) {

originalText;

} else if (kashidasToRemove >= totalKashidas) {

originalText.split(kashidaChar).join(“”);

} else {

var newText = originalText;

var removedCount = 0;

for (var i = kashidaPositions.length – 1; i >= 0 && removedCount < kashidasToRemove; i–) {

kashidaPositions[i] = -1;

removedCount++;

}

var result = “”;

var kashidaIndex = 0;

for (var i = 0; i < originalText.length; i++) {

if (originalText.charAt(i) === kashidaChar) {

if (kashidaPositions[kashidaIndex] !== -1) {

result += kashidaChar;

}

kashidaIndex++;

} else {

result += originalText.charAt(i);

}

}

result;

}

It’s working good, But I’m wondering if there is a better simpler mechanism?!

Thnaks Dan,
Please check your email

Try Something like this might help

endSize = effect("Slider Control")("Slider");
endTime = effect("Slider Control 2")("Slider");
t = linear(time,0,endTime,1,endSize);
x = text.sourceText.style.setFontSize(t);

This script may help you https://aescripts.com/loopflow/

Simple modification.

<pre data-placeholder=””>

if (time <= inPoint+0.5) { output = linear(time,inPoint, inPoint+.5, 0, 100);

} else {

output = linear(time,outPoint-.5, outPoint, 100, 0); // just replace + with –

}

output;

You’re welcome.

Yup, it’s pretty easy. just add this code to the source text of the text layer :

decimal = thisComp.layer("slider controller").effect("Slider Control")("Slider");
Number(decimal).toString(2)

Hello Dan, Hope you doing great!

Please, Where can I find the original “Building the World’s Greatest Cameraman” thread?

You must add a double quotation :

loopOut(“offset”)
