Hi All,

I have been playing around with the script that creates text layers from a file.

The script creates text layers, but not paragraph text layers.
I am using this code:

Code: Select all

thisTextLayer = myComp.layers.addText(text);
Is there a way to create text layers in paragraph mode?

Thanks

I too have been searching for a way to create paragraph text layers with a script. After much searching I am fairly certain this is not possible. I believe the best sollution is to create paragraph style text in Illustrator and then import the the text files to After Effects.

Plus in Illustrator you can make a text area into any shape you want. It doesn not have to be a perfect rectangle.

By the way this is my first post on this website and I have appreciated this resource very much so far.
