I wanted to share some insights when animating random text characters I got using Character Value and Character Offset, which is probably a bug in AE. At some frames a few characters are getting cropped - either left, right, top or bottom. Suuuper enoying. What I figured out is that Character Value with anything higher than 0 will result in this big. 1 or 2 might be working, but mostly not. Now I think its even strange Character Value even exsist..

Thanks for writing in. Would you mind sharing the steps to reproduce this on our end or sharing a project file that we can test? Feel free to share the file via DM if you do not want to share it publicly.

Looking forward to your response. Moving this thread from Bugs to Discussions for troubleshooting.


Thanks,
Nishu

Hi, thanks for your response.

I've attached the AE-file. A lot easier to understand while inside the
project

Thanks,
