I think this could be achieved really fast with the Plug-in Pins & Boxes.

Or you could animate the line with a trim path and use the “path follow nulls” included with after effects and have the ends of the stroke follow the nulls.

Thanks Manuel! This is amazing. Just need to figure out how to use it now hahaha

Hi Ivan !

instead of [100, 100] you could write something like:

linear(time, 0, 1, 0, 100)

It converts time from 0 second to 1 second to the position 0 to 100. Feel free to play with the values. Also if you want something a bit smoother, you can change the word “linear” to ease, easeIn or easeOut

Enjoy !

Hi Jon ! It is not yet possible for a single text layer to have multiple character/font values driven by expression. Although, there are some work arounds.

Maybe you can check this script: https://aescripts.com/text-chain/

It allows you to have multiple text layers behave as one!

Also be sure to check this one out since it can help a lot for a faster workflow: https://ukramedia.com/product/smart-text/

I’ll check on my side see if something else is doable and will let you know!

Glad you found by yourself also! And glad I got to help! Have a good day!

if you’re referring to frames, try this:

n = Math.floor(timeToFrames());

Hey Samik! Are you referring to frames or seconds?

[Yoan Boisjoli]

Hi Samik !

I think you could just have the time rounded to floor in there (if you want a new word every second).

n = Math.floor(time);

And just put the “n” variable inside the square brackets.

Let me know if that makes sense !
