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.

I could put the bug as a part of the template, but then just need to have the opacity slider so it can be "turned off" but used as a guide.

Yes. I need the height to remain the same. The horizontal scale will start at 100% but once it hits near the bug, it will start to scale horizontally. I've got this built-in our chyron and just trying to replicate this with an essential graphic.

You don't need the actual bug in the template, just to know the pixel position of the left edge.

I don' t know the answer to this: can an AE mogrt template use AE expressions? I.e. put that pixel position as a variable in the template. If it cannot be made accessible to PR, you might have to edit in AE for the individual sequence.

Did ali's suggestion handle the width scaling?

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