Contextual alternates in AE

Hello,

 

I am trying to use the option of "contextual alternates" in AE.

I have the option here for Photoshop

 

But can't find a similar button to this in AE, tbh I wouldn't be surprised if it's not natively in AE, but maybe there are plugins or some trick to get that option working?

 

Atm, my only solution is to create the text in Photoshop and copy-paste it into AE, but that is deff not an optimal solution long term.

 

Any suggestions?

Yeah, while the OpenType options are in Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, they haven't made their way into After Effects yet.  I imagine we'll see it eventually.

 

You can import PS Type Layers and convert them to editable text (Layer > Create > Convert to Editable Text), but I'm not sure if that's any better than copy and paste.

 

But if you get bored doing the copy-paste from PS, you can switch to Adobe Illustrator instead.  So, "yay" for that, I guess.

    I've edited the outdated link in my post on March 12, 2021, to reflect this as well.

    there is no such thing and for better or worse you need to be glad AE doesn't even bust up your copy&paste stuff. Even to this day AE does not support full Unicode/ OpenType and hence there also cannot be any magic plug-ins or scripts. the workflow you're using already is as good as it gets.
