Essential Graphics with text

I am creating a lower third that can only be placed in a certain location and needs to avoid a TV bug on screen.

I need the text to skew horizontal up to a certain point. Does anyone know a formula I could use to make this happen?

In addition to what @Peru Bob said, you need to place the anchor point at the bottom of the layer to skew only upwards

Can you post a screenshot showing the lower third and TV bug in the program monitor, also showing your timeline and essential graphics panel?

I did create the essential graphic in after effects.

Attached is what I've got.

Sadly that won't work. It has to be the same size font. If there was a way to have this to be editable then that wouldn't be an issue.

You can access that by simply adding the scale property of the text:

Unlink the width and height of Motion Properties in the Effects Control Panel and keyframe the length, width and/or the position.
