Expression text jump based on textbox

[Multipasser]

As an image says more than a thousand words 🙂

I need to convert this to a mogrt, so I need the yellow text to be a different textlayer, as it uses a different font/weight.

That said, the 'line text 01' can never extend beyond the red line. So the user needs to be able to break to second line (but I believe you can't do that in premiere essential panel?).  So is there a automatic break expression maybe I can add? Or I just use a Boxtext?

Anyhow when the first text goes to 2 lines, the yellow subtext must jump position.

How do I do that? 

thanks! Merry xmas

You can't have an automatic line wrap. In theory you would simply compare the position value with a sourceRectAtTime() and then recursively trim down the letters the exceed the line length to insert a line break, but you run into a chicken vs. egg situation, since the rect values don't update while you're editing, only after re-rasterizing the text layer. You could end up re-editing the text over and over and you gain nothing. Therefore the only way out is to set up two lines of text with a known fixed character length and hide the second when it's not needed, moving the yellow sub-headline into its position. That can be achieved using standard sourceRectAtTime() and simple tests like (pseudo-code)

if(myString.length < x)

{code for position/ opacity goes here}

else

{default position and opacity};

1. create a text box for your Line Text 01
2. create a text layer for your SUBTEXT
3. parent SUBTEXT to your text box
4. add this expression to the SUBTEXT position:

marginTop = 50;
[parent.sourceRectAtTime().left, parent.sourceRectAtTime().top + parent.sourceRectAtTime().height + sourceRectAtTime().height + marginTop]
