Hi,

 

is it possible, to change just the texts outline opacity, but not the opacity of the text itself?

 

Best,

Chris

There are Text Animator Properties for Text Stroke/Outlines. These cover Stroke Width, Color, Opacity, Hue, RGB, Saturation and Brightness and these are set by default, separate from the Text Fill properties which can also be accessed via Text Animator Properties.

    You can't do it directly, but there are at least two alternatives:

     

    1. Use layer style "outline" and reduce opacity of the style

    2. duplicate the text layer, turn off fill and activate outline only, link source text proberty of duplicated text to original text to keep text content in sync and change opacity of duplicated text layer
