Autofill error

Hello,

Can someone help with the autofill plugin?

I'm just trying out a simple animation with a text, but when I apply the autofill it just doesn't fill propely.

Am I doing something wrong?

Best regards.

Error or problem

Hi Tomas,

Ive just had the same issue applying Autofill to a font.

A work around is to precomp the text in a separate comp, and then apply Autofill to that.

Essentially, I think Autofill is having issues being applied to 'live' text. Dont know why, and its very annoying.

Any resolution to this? I want to pull the trigger on this tool but it isn't worth $50 if it doesn't work.

Looks like a triangualtion issue which could be anything from a hardware accelleration problem to the font having "bad" contours. Try a different font, check the composition renderer setting, check hardware acceleration settings, update your graphics drivers, switch to software-only rendering - whatever fixes it.

Have you looked at the tutorials on aescripts.com? Do you have the latest version installed?

I don't have the plugin so I cannot run a quick test to see what happens with the latest versions of AE.
