I use the Bodymoving plugin and often work with Lottie, so I convert all the texts into shapes and sometimes it takes a very long time.

PS. I know about the existence of a parameter that does this when rendering in lottie, but in fact it is not implemented in the best way now

When you say it takes a long time, is that the steps of "selecting a text layer, then going to Layer > Create > Create Shapes from Text" - it's always pretty quick for me, but do you have a lot of text or just a lot of text layers?

I suppose you could come up with script to cycle through each text layer for you - (ChatGPT can probably help with this), but I don't think there's a quicker way.

I understand when you need to do it once, it's not a problem, but when I have 50 text layers, it's just unrealistically long

(I'm trying to automate this with GPT chat and it works, but sometimes the program freezes)

Were you able to improve the proces a bit lately? I'm working with Lottie as well and I have a lot if text layers in a lot of animations that all need to be converted.. If you have a quick workaround, please let me know! 🙏

The fact this isn't a standard option within After Effects is beyond me.
