I'm making the assets for a lyric video but I would like to split up the sentences that have already been written into individual words to allow me to go from this -

To something like this (quickly) -

Any idea how to split up a sentence into individual text layers?

Thanks.

Perhaps something like this:

psd = app.activeDocument;
layer = psd.activeLayer;
var text = layer.textItem.contents;
var textArray = text.split(" ");
var lngth = textArray.length+1;
for (var w=1; w<lngth;w++){
    wordlayer = layer.duplicate();
    wordlayer.name = textArray[w-1];
    wordlayer.textItem.contents = textArray[w-1];
    psd.activeLayer = wordlayer;

}
