Hi ,

From your screenshot, I have noticed that you have not selected the correct font type as it showing times new roman. please check whether your system has Amharic font and select them inside the adobe . I don't have an idea whether adobe supports this font and secondly it's not free font so I am also not able to test it personally. you try to change the font type by selecting your text and see if it work.

When I copy paste the text the default font is Times New Roman so when I changed that to the language font it still stays invisible.

I think it is a free font else if there's a way to message personally i can send you the font zip files. Thanks

Works for me! Thanks for posting this!

Installed : https://fonts.google.com/noto/specimen/Noto+Serif+Ethiopic

Cut and paste into Notepad - and set font there to Noto

Cut and paste from Notepad into After Effects, setting the font to Noto again if required

Works like a charm! 😄
