Quick and dirty:

– CONTROL Layer with two sliders (ITALIC IN & ITALIC OUT)

– Animator on the Text Layer with Skew 22

– Advanced: Based on Words

– Expression / Range Selector:

Start: thisComp.layer(“CONTROL”)(“Effects”)(“ITALIC IN”)(1);

End: thisComp.layer(“CONTROL”)(“Effects”)(“ITALIC OUT”)(1);

Now you can use the sliders to set the words that should be in italics 😉

Hi Chris,

try this ☺

Animation IN and OUT in the same way…

startMarkerIn = thisComp.layer(„NAME“).marker.key(1).time;
endMarkerIn = thisComp.layer("NAME").marker.key(2).time;
startMarkerOut = thisComp.layer("NAME").marker.key(3).time;
endMarkerOut = thisComp.layer("NAME").marker.key(4).time;

a = [OutPosition]
b = [InPosition] - [OutPosition]

InPosition = thisComp.layer("NAME").transform.position;
OutPosition = thisComp.layer("NAME").transform.position;

ease(time, startMarkerIn, endMarkerIn, (a/2)+b,(a/2)) + ease(time, startMarkerOut, endMarkerOut, (a/2), (a/2)+b);
