How can I create text that stacks up at line breaks rather than drops down?

Question

I’m working with design restrictions where text can build upwards, but there is a defined bottom border.

I’m looking for a setting or an expression that stacks the text upwards after every line break, instead of the default where text drops below the original line.

I tried the expression from AEscreens.com but it doesn’t seem to be working for me. When I try it, it simply centers all the text vertically.

I want the bottom-most text line to stay at a set y-coordinate.

You can use an expression that locks the Anchor Point to bottom of the text and it will appear to grow upward.

Add this to the Anchor Point of your text:

const {left, top, width, height} = sourceRectAtTime();
[left + width/2, top + height]
