Jeff,

That’s exactly what I’m trying to do – I’ll give the left/right aligning a try. I wish there was a behaviour that aligned to another object without travelling or gravity simulation – just a static align. Boring, but essential!

cheers for the idea
Peter

Thanks David,

I’m actually thinking in terms of using the ‘Add Master Template’ function in Final Cut Pro, which brings in editable fields, like the text generators – I’m trying to avoid using lots of imported Motion docs, as if they were photoshop files, as it’s not as efficient a workflow as the Template function.

I think my best way through is to add a parameter in Motion that forces the second name to be a certain number of pixels to the right of the first name – but I don’t know which behavior that would be.

All 8 of the other editable fields render perfectly, without tweaking, as they don’t have different formatting within a sentence.

cheers again
Peter
