'Text Engine' missing from my After Effects Type Preferences

Community Beginner ,
Jan 07, 2022 Jan 07, 2022

I need to use some animated Arabic text in an After Effects file that I'm working on, but I don't have the
'Text Engine' option in my menu to change it to ‘South Asian and Middle Eastern’:

Hi Deividas22168002sqwm,

 

I did find the answer in another thread, but I can't seem to find it anymore!

 

Anyway, if I remember rightly, this feature has now beeen incorporated into the Paragraph panel. Select the text in question, then go to the Paragraph panel and select Reset Paragraph, that should do the trick.

 

Cheers,

Luke.

Hey,

It was a deliberate move to remove that from Preferences because you no longer have to choose either /ơr between Latin and South-Asian scripts.

The new Adobe Text Engine is equipped to support both intelligently.

Are you facing any trouble typing in?

I just upgraded my After Effects from 2020 to 2022 and I face the same issue when using Asian Languages. Then I found the working method. Select your text then go to "Character Panel", click on more options and check on "Ligatures". Hope this can help.

Yes , I'm still experiencing the problem. I wish Adobe had left the option to manually change the engine in case your AI didn't recognize the text. Is there any way I can fix this problem?

I also encountered this problem, the program can not automatically detect that I have RTL Israeli text. And I can't find any options to do it manually.
