I'm trying to type math equations and add it as a text but I didn't find any font that can do that, Also I tried to write it in Microsoft word's plugin "MathType" and it worked but when I try to paste it in After Effects it won't work,
Is there a way to type math equations in After Effect or is there a MathType plugin for After Effects?

P.S. I'm trying to type equations like the following picture:

I have essentially the same problem, but I want the equation to show up in Adobe Premiere. Basically there ain't no way, as far as I have been able to find out, to write the equation in an Adobe product except for typing out each element using a symbol font that has math characters in Photoshop or Illustrator, placing each part of the equation on a different layer, and then manually repositioning the elements to make up the equation you want.  Then you could collapse the layers or leave them on separate layers if you wanted to edit the thing in the future.  But who has the patience do do it that way?

 

The other option is to use Word's Equation Editor to design your equation, make it the size you want by changing the font size, and (on a Mac), use Screenshot to copy the thing to the clipboard and then paste it into a new Photoshop or Illustrator document and save it as the file type that you need.

 

Klutzy, but it works.

One option is to use font type Symbol that should already be in AE. I use Symbol (Regular). I use this for creating equation animations for math and physics.

Great idea, but it's kind of expensive
