hi everyone

Does the SDK provide some method to get the text animator properties?

I mean, when I add some expression or animator to a text layer, how to get every character's position or scale?

thx

as far as i know you can get the text as shapes using AEGP_GetNewTextOutlines().

deducing each character from that bunch of shapes... that would take some thinking.

i don't know of any other way of getting specific char data for a text layer. perhaps there's a way with javascript?
