Creating a mixed font template from AE? Mograt format

I have been trying to create a header with some effect on them to make a template from AE to use in Pr. (mograt format)

What is the best way to mix the font weight within one sentence using the essential graphic palette?

The problem is that when I change one word, the whole sentence changes to bold in adobe premiere pro?

I have tried to create 2 text layers in one mograt, but this is less than ideal. I'm not sure this is the best way?

Thank you

Best regards

You have to use multiple text layers. You can easily tie them together so they look like one line using sourceRectAtTime on the position property of the other layers. You'll have to have two text editing boxes in the MOGRT. I do this kind of thing all the time.

Thanks, Rick, that's a really interesting way of solving the issue.

I think it might get a little too complicated in my case though.

It's scientific text and often there is superscripted references, italisized words, bold words all in the same paragraph.

I wondered if it might be easier to use regular expressions to search the text and change them in After Effects. Think it might get complicated to fill in though needing to know regexp for everyone that's using the template. For if there are multiple numbers that need superscripting but some that dont.

Think it's going to be easier to make a AE project template and just duplicate that for each project and ignore AE templates all together.

Thanks for your help though Rick!

Features like individually selecting letters in a paragraph and applying different styles are not available in the Extended Graphis Panel. All you can do is select the font styling for the whole text layer. It's a good feature request. The only option now is to format each character that needs special formatting in the Comp Panel using the Type tool and make the adjustments with the Character Panel. Expressions are only able to set a type style to an entire text layer.

It's a good feature request.

The current limitation for Text Styles is one Text Style per Text Layer. HTH
