Question

No pasting right to left in After Effects

I need to be able to paste HEBREW text into After Effects, but there is no setting to change the paste from Right to Left.  This setting IS in Premiere, so you would think it would be easy to put this into SETTINGS in After Effects as well.  I can copy the Essential Graphics layer from Premiere and paste it into After Effects, but then I need to adjust the position, font, size, and Style to match the template we have set up-what a hassel.  Please add this feature to After Effects to allow PASTE RIGHT TO LEFT.

Hi @videodrb1969,

Thank you for making this report. Could you provide more information on how you are trying to paste the Hebrew text?

 

After Effect does support RTL text, but you will need to enable it for each Text layer using the Text Direction controls in the Properties panel or the Paragraph panel. Try this with your Text layer selected:

In the Properties panel, you will need to click "More..." in order to see the Text Direction buttons.

Once you've toggled your Text layer(s) to RTL, see if pasting works as you expect.

 

Cheers,

- John, After Effects Engineering Team
