Is there a work around for this?
i.e, being able to get the specific height of the (currently displayed) text block?

Alternatively…how else does one “manipulate the source text to create your type-on effect”?

Thanks Filip. The solution you propose isn’t completely out of the question.

I might have to rethink the approach a little.

Filip to the rescue!

In a related question…but not wanting to hijack the thread.

How does one create a series of animations that are triggered with markers (or another form of script)?

The specific example I’m trying to currently build out, is used in a recreated interface setting…whereby a single comp controls a whole bunch of variables (through Essential Graphics) of a specific cursor. What I’m hoping to also “automate” is the use of a marker (or Essential Graphics track) keyframe to trigger an animation which ‘clicks’ the placed cursor, i.e, scales down and then back up.

I’ve had success with scaling down (with a liner, or ease based process) …but how do I trigger another/return animation to scale the item back to its original spot?

Dammit. Thanks Filip, it’s the answer I’d expected…but didn’t really want.

Are there any work arounds on this? Trying to build a suite of tools that can be used across a production team, so ideally it would be a relatively “drag-set-and-forget” type solution.
