Hi all,

          I'm new to after effects. I need to scale text based on its length. I hope this can be done with expression. But i don't know, how to do this? Could anybody help me to do this?

Regards,

Sasikumar

There's more than one way to interpret your description, but as an example, if you wanted your text to be 200 pixels wide, you could use a scale expression like this:

w = sourceRectAtTime(time,false).width;

if (w > 0){

  s = (200/w)*100;

  [s,s];

}else

  value
