Correct answer Szalam

In the meantime, please also file a feature request, so the AE team knows of your needs. Having it supported natively without workarounds would probably be a lot better, yes?

RTL language support is long overdue in Ae. other software (Photoshop, Illustrator, even Premiere as of 2015.3) have implemented middle eastern features but not Ae.

I am writing Hebrew and all you have to do to write properly and use presets is to set the Horizontal scale to -100 and add a text animator for scale that does the same.

you can choose both parameters and create a preset and do this even faster but I don't bother. this still does not solve some issues such as "convert to editable text" to a text layer made from Photoshop which won't work properly.

    thank you for the fast reply Roei

    yes I'm aware of some "tricks" to make it work

    but I'm asking if there some possibility to make it work like in Photoshop as you mentioned

    maybe there's a possibility to write a script that does it?

    not aware of any scripts. specify exactly what are your workflow needs and I can offer some of my workarounds.
