This is a big tutorial with lots of info, so please don't hesitate to ask questions. Also, in the description is timecode for the various parts of the tutorial.

Awsome tutorial thx... If you want the box to stick to the text no matter the justification add this expression to the Rectangle Path Position: l=thisComp.layer("This text"); w=l.sourceRectAtTime().width/2; h=l.sourceRectAtTime().height/2; left=l.sourceRectAtTime().left; top=l.sourceRectAtTime().top; [w+left,h+top]

[@LongLiveMikey]

Nice, I didn't know about the .left, .top part of this expression!
