Can you please do a tutorial on how to make this on a 3 line or 4 line text. I really need it in my client work. Happy if you would help!!

[@jillsf8771]

for all of you who's having some error on the expression, make sure the "s" when you first typed it the "s=" should be in low case. Also make sure in the position expression, is as the same name as the text layer.

[@thatsraybill8547]

Thank !

[@varsany5]

It is still not working for me

[@Mike-mv4if]

same for me too...

[@eladbari]

Anyone knows the opposite? : How can you have your Rectangle in a fixed size + and be able to write however long title you want- So the font size will adjust to always fit inside that Rectangle?

[@kashbhatia6760]

Thank you! This Tutorial was exactly what I was looking for! Especially the part on how to center align everything and make it move out was what I needed.

[@chris9447]

When I slide the shape layer (or both) in the timeline, the shape layer fails to follow the timing of the text animator. The shape layer expanding just happens at the original time, no matter where I slide the layers, so it doesn't coincide with the text layer expanding. Can't figure out why. Anyone know?

[@marieschwab1207]

amazing, thank you! This was the best tutorial on dynamic boxes and it helped me a bunch!

[@swapnilmasutage5042]

Hello, your tips and techniques vdos are really helpful. Keep it up. All the best to your channel.

[@huzaifaabid8514]

I know the video is quite old, and you might not respond, but the expression works perfectly for scaling an animator. However, it doesn't seem to work with opacity. What would be the workaround for that?

[@stephaniecurry6070]

When I use the tracking amount animator it spaces out the text letter. It does not move the whole object over. Anyone have an idea of what this is about?

[@vlad3kff]

same :(

[@iivanov86]

Hey Josh! Love your tutorials. I came to learn how to created titles with boxes but honestly - I liked the little text animations you have throughout the video way better! For example - at 00:34 and then again at 00:43. What are those called?? They're not titles, they're not lower thirds, they're not "call outs"... I'd love to find a pack of text animations like those but I don't even know what they're called. Do you have any tutorials on how to create those? Or any pre-made templates I could buy? Preferably a pack of those...

[@jonasrocha2836]

YOU-RE A.W.E.S.O.M.E I love after for you videos thank's dude!

Thank you brother!

[@lazkata]

I'm getting a delay when using a Range selector. For some reason the box starts expanding when the word is already at the 5th letter. Help anybody?

[@VonClaytonGaming]

exactly what I was looking for, thanks!

[@willielokie]

Thanks for this! Is there a way to make the box adapt to width only, and not to height?

[@NonaPrince]

Really Helpful!

[@HalomoanHalPasaribu]

it's not work when i create a start keyframe from 0 to 100, when i didn't make a keyframe it works. how this happen?

[@JamesMitchellTV]

This is amazing. Thank you! More of these, please!

[@faultyspaghetti9113]

Can you do a video on how to make zooms? pls

[@bizvido1583]

use this method too - select text > effects > matte > simple chocker and then effects > channel > minimax - then in effects and controls (F3) change chanel to ALpha and increase radius then Effects > color corrections > tint (make sure text should be white and matte should be black before adding tint) Enjoy!

[@miltonneres]

Great! Thanks for this tutorial. Thank you

[@joypraythank]

Amazing. Master piece. Thanks a lot.

[@deepdig8502]

I have a square in the middle of the screen. Everything works only that square remains. Why?

[@varsany5]

How can you not include the solution on the Error at size expression?

Can we extend a video clip using After Effects?

[@herupangestu3015]

how do you make the background follow the animation of a logo? And if rendered in a transparent form, the background also follows the shape of the animated logo

[@aaquibahmed7308]

It's amazing. Thanks

[@faultyspaghetti9113]

no problem

[@NewYears1978]

I can't figure out the tracking part..when I add tracking it moving it only changes like where the box starts from it doesn't move it like in your video? The project files are missing too so I could not check it there. When I change tracking is just changes where the text comes up from..it doesn't move like in your video.

[@KWandles]

Yeah Tracking doesn't seem to do the same thing for me either. I tried to play with position to give a similar effect it's not quite the same but better than without. If you figured it out please let me know :)

[@NewYears1978]

@@KWandles When I changed the text to center align it seemed to work right..but I don't know if that was the actual solution..seems like it might have something to do with layers selected or something..I could never figure out exactly. Try centering the text though and see if that works.

[@RodrigoMirra]

Excelente! Sirve bien para subtítulos

[@diegopinheirodeoliveira2421]

I thank you immensely!

[@herupangestu3015]

how to make the background follow the size of the logo animation ??????

[@gambadude]

Boom. Thanks for the video mate.

[@Sari36YT]

This doesn't work for lower thirds with different names. The text starts appearing outside of the box if the name is smaller. The text isn't even center aligned when you type a new name. It's all over the place...

[@LoveToHateAggro]

Great tutorial, thanks for that. Is it possible to save this as a preset?

[@RoniTosun]

SonduckFilm Dear sir could you please tell me if it's possible to get a black background with 50% transparency but with a white font of opacity 100%. Your method is perfect and simple but i can't figure it out with the effects that you used. Please if anyone can help, i would appreciate it

[@ashmca123]

I get this, up until the part of animating the text. When I adjust the scale, it makes all the letters smaller and keeping the width of the box the same... how do I get it to scale in per letter causing the box to expand?

[@BLUESCREAMPRODUCTIONS]

same problem... still no answer

[@mikedebbie2889]

@@BLUESCREAMPRODUCTIONS you need to Add a scale property and animate the End feature in the Offset category. Confusing as all hell, but with practice you get the hang.

[@Ryzawing]

@@mikedebbie2889 did this but nothing :/

[@NicholsMax]

This just straight up isn't working for me. The box resizes too small, though the position seems fine. No errors, the scale just never fits

[@WalkAway273]

I have the same problem

[@NicholsMax]

​@@WalkAway273 I think the problem was I used scale instead of size or vice versa, can't remember but check if youre picking exactly what the tutorial shows

[@agraciotti]

what if I have a line break? :(

[@AJITRATHpicmaster]

is there any way i can make it a preset?

[@WalkAway273]

I have a problem that when I use the expression, the box size is not cover the text. It's is smaller than the text. How can I fix this? anyone?

good one thanks

Thanks!! This was really usefull!
