Thanks Eric and Walter for chiming in.
I agree, seems like a custom script will be the way to go *sigh*

[Paul Ducco]

Bunpity bump for good measure

[Paul Ducco]

Hah. You know I’ll totally be looking at that. Thanks Filip

[Paul Ducco]

As always, really appreciate the knowledge share Filip! Thankyou

[Paul Ducco]

As I’d anticipated. Thanks Dan

You’re not wrong about this comment Filip…

There’s a lot of different moving parts and little expressions that don’ make a lot of sense on their own to control text-animators, so posting the code will be just confusing, but here’s the projectfile:

If you’re so inclined, would you be able to loosely explain what’s happening in the
– Character Value
– Range Selector: Mode; Amount;
expressions?
The Range Selector: Offset expression, I understand to be offsetting the offset. Oh the complexity!

As an aside, I’ve rigged up some warnings for this usage, so that if values don’t match ‘0’ at the required time, there is some visual feedback. This is currently with a text layer that feeds the warning, within the cursor precomp (using Essential Graphics) to feedback the necessary info. Are there better/easier ways to do ‘alerts’?

Hi Yoan, yeah sorry I’m referring to bezier paths, not ‘standard’ shapes.
And…within that, trying to reference the size of particular ‘sub-shapes/-groups’

Amazing. Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom.
