Hi Robert,

Thanks! Helped a lot.
Although I’m running in some issues now.

When starting the name with most characters it looks great and the cut shape layer keeps in place following the length of the name. However when the name starts with T, U, V, W or Y the red box moves slightly to the right. With this the lower third is not on the position I want it to be and the cut shape layer looks weird not being placed correctly.

Is it possible to lock the position of the red box? So it is always lined on the ruler.
And the height of the red box doesn’t need the SourceRectAtTime() as it needs to be 80 px no matter what.

For the IN and OUT animation I created a matte which is linked to the width of the red box.
Only when animating the matte keeps changing position. Is it possible to lock this as well?
So I’ll place it left from the lower third and animate it with the width scale from 0% to 100%.
