BTW in case, someone else runs into this issue I had. Open project settings, select the Expressions tab, and change the Expressions Engine to JavaScript. I was typing in all of this and getting an error saying the function doesn't exist... and I'm like... bro yes it does, look he's doing it right there, also you have a whole web page dedicated to this stuff... what are you talking about... AHHHHHHHH. Great tutorial! lol They are all super helpful!

Thanks for the lesson! But it's important to know that such expression works only from AE 2020. And yes, as it was already mentioned below: turn on in Project Settings -> Expressions Engine: "JavaScript".

Hi Sergej, thank you so much for this precious video. I was wondering how to catch Text Style (not Source) from a different Composition. Should I change the string "thisComp" in something else?

thank you for this video. is it possible to combine different sources and styles in one text layer? i would love to see an example resulting in "Text one goes here" in yellow on the first line, and "text two goes here" in blue on the second. thanks again!

@Resiliencebalado Жыл бұрын

Thanks very much. I'm starting to dive deep in After Effects. Do you think there's a way of changing one text layer in one precomp, by multiples text layer in another comp. For exemple, a name that would change every 5 seconds? I have search a lot for that but haven't found anything yet. Thanks!

Thanks Sergei for another great one. Is there a way to set different styles in the same source text? Like some kind of "setStyleAt" or something like that

Nope. Does not exist unfortunately.

Hello! Thank your for a great tutorial. But what if we have different styles in the same text layer. Different font sizes in each word, for example. It seems it only picks the style of one character.

@Bonzvy 3 жыл бұрын

since its javascript i assume you can create a loop to copying all character styles. dont know if AE has that implemented, if not that could be a solution

I need this to! Does anyone have clue ? @ukramedia ?

@tubelator Жыл бұрын

Lol.. I asked Chatgpt! It gave me a working expression! amazing. targetLayer = thisComp.layer("Target Layer"); sourceLayer = thisComp.layer("Source Layer"); targetLayer.text.sourceText.setValue(sourceLayer.text.sourceText.value); targetLayer.text.fontSize.setValue(sourceLayer.text.fontSize.value); targetLayer.text.fontFamily.setValue(sourceLayer.text.fontFamily.value); Note: You'll need to replace "Target Layer" and "Source Layer" with the actual names of your target and source text layers, respectively.

Is there a way to do this that also includes glyphs? I can copy a glyph from illustrator but I can't figure out how to reference it in an expression.

@davefleury2583 9 ай бұрын

Is there a w ay to override a certain style? Cant seem to figure this out. Like if I want a second layer to follow EVERYTHING except I want there to be a stroke and not a fill on the linked text. Thought it would use the "Set" function but I don't think that is the way. Thanks in advance.

Hi Sergei, my apologize for my english but i am french and i am not very good in english. Thank you for your tutors which are awesome. I try this but i have a issue "txt1.getStyleAt is not a function" I also have another question. I made a text with a centered paragraph and I want to modify this text but have its anchor point always be the perfect center of the text how can I do this ?

@xris2394 3 жыл бұрын

I think that the issue "txt1.getStyleAt is not a function" it's because my after effect software is in french, is there a solution ? thank you

@@xris2394 I had this problem too but was able to fix it. Check your expression engine is in Java Script. Go to Project Setting/Expressions. Hope this helps (programming languages are universal and not affected by location btw)

I'm getting an error. It says "txt1.getStyleAt is not a function". I replicated everything you did: txt1 = thisComp.layer("Text 1").text.sourceText; txt1.getStyleAt(0, t = time)

@ruslanvynokurov2763 3 жыл бұрын

I got the same issue, but if you will type in "getStyleAt(0)" with only one 0, this works. For example: origin = thisComp.layer("Text").text.sourceText; origin.getStyleAt(0).setText(origin);
