'Text Engine' missing from my After Effects Type Preferences

[lukeclarke]

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’:

I've moved this from the Using the Community forum (which is the forum for issues using the forums) to the AE forum so that proper help can be offered.

Sorry about that, as you probably know it's my first post.

Thanks.

Same issue, need help 😞

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.

spent a full day researching on this, actually got in the post twice before i found this.

it worked! thanks a lot!

[ABHIRUP30733860ja2z]

Thanks! Is there a way to set it to default to "reset paragraph" or have to do this every time I add a text line?

[lukeclarke]

I’m not sure, I only needed to use it for one job, but I wouldn’t be surprised if you have to do it each time.


Many thanks,

Luke.

As I have to work with the Indic language, all the old MOGRT files are now useless in the new Premier Pro and have to be edited in AE, that too with an extra step with every single line of text.

Thank you so much

Thanks, it was so helpful. 
But I wonder why Adobe has to keep changing this frequently it's so annoying.

For those who cannot find the text engine in your type settings, don't get frustrated, the solution is simpler than you'd think.

in the paragraph panel you'll find two buttons with an "arrow and a P" on them, switch between them to flip the typing order.

[Jitesh26075850lce2]

Does this P right to left works for type settings. I want to change font to Asian. will that work with this ?

[robertog12061881]

I'm facing same problem, it was available on the previous AE but now is gone and iy seems nobody can help us anymore 😞

bad move removing this option
