I'm sure this has been asked for before, but I know I'm not alone in wanting character and/or paragraph styels in AE, which would behave exactly lkike those in InDesign/Illustrator (except with a few animatable parameters maybe!). I've just watched @JohnColombo and friends on YouTube, and will (for now) be implementing an adaptation of their expression. But it's a lot of faff compared to adding a style in Ai/Id etc!
Could we please have character styles / paragraph styles in AE?
