Very, very cool idea and I was able to get it running! However after effects really chugs even with posterizeTime(0) thrown in when applicable. Will probably not be able to use this right now. but still quite happy with the result! Thank you so much!

Here’s the code I ended up using:

On the Source Text layer for the hidden text layer (layer name…

Thank you Tomas! I recently learned how to set up the autoscaling constraints on a 1 line text layer doing something like this:

maxWidth = 500;

currentWidth = sourceRectAtTime().width;

s = Math.min(maxWidth / sourceRectAtTime().width * 100, 100);

[s,s]

So you’re suggesting trying to work this in while adding in a line break expression driven from a…

Edit- Sorry posted this before seeing replies

My setup is drawing a text bounding box which automatically adds line breaks. It scales to fit when you manually change the font size. My goal is to create an expression that automates the action of changing the font size.

In theory I would draw the bounding box to the desired width and then make the…

Hello! Been trying to figure this out for a while and just keep coming up short.

Is there a way to have a text layer that will line break after a specified width (not character count), like when you draw the text bounding box, and also have the font size automatically scale down so nothing gets clipped/cropped out?

I tried using for loops/while…

Quick update after a weekend of tweaking. Turns out I was overcomplicating quite a bit. I just precomposed the entire animation and added some hold keyframes anywhere that was applicable to freeze all calculations and it worked! Got my export times down significantly (from 30 minutes to 2 minutes). So now I can keep writing crappy code and just…

Hi new to this forum so apologies if this bible exists somewhere already.

I am wondering what are some expression tips/tricks to speed up the processing and render times of a heavily coded .mogrt?

I use posterizeTime(0) on all static values (Can you use inside a function so only part of the expression is calculated once? I haven’t had… Read more
