VCP Saber, but without the plug-in?

Hi,

The issue I am having is not a problem with expressions, but I wanted to see if one could help solve it.

I use the VCP plugin, Saber, on a mogrt that I share with video editors. Saber allows me to have a tapered draw-on text effect, based on a selected text layer, without having to bake anything down (Ie convert text to shape layers).

This is perfect for the mogrt workflow, as I can create a dynamic animation that draws-on, and the editor can change the text and it updates.

Recently on a project, there was an issue where the MOGRT using Saber appeared to make everything off-centre in Premiere (Although in rendered from AME correctly). I shared a post about this too.

This caused some frustration and concern about the MOGRT workflow, and I wanted to get to the bottom of why Saber was doing that. But also wanted to see if there was an alternative way to achieve the draw-on effect, but still give the artist the same control over the text in the template.

If you have any ideas, I appreciate it.
