After Effects Tutorial - Dynamic Text Box

Описание: Prt 1 of using our Dynamic Text Box.

Learn in 10 min how to create a dynamic text box that changes size automatically to the text, on one text layer without complex expressions with any font, in Adobe After Effects.

Auto-Resize to your text without any complicated expressions
Support multiple lines
Works with any font, not just monospaced fonts
Have your text another colour or transparent
Achieves all this with just the one font layer
No third-party plugins required

This style is everywhere! Use this for your titles, your lower thirds, anything where you present text.

I use this for all the text boxes in these tutorials, as this technique is so versatile and speeds up the creation process.

ADD OPACITY CONTROL INDEPENDENTLY FOR THE BOX AND TEXT

I tried a bunch of ways to do this with some results better than others. The easiest way I have found that gives you a lot of control while not having to mess around too much is to do the following.
Follow the tutorial to the end so you have all the effects controls in.
Go to Channel - Blend and add it between the "Beam" and "CC Composite" Effects. You don't need to change any settings of the "Blend" effect.
Go to the "CC Composite" effect directly below it and uncheck "RGB Only" and ensure the Composite Original is set to "In front"
Finally, go to the "Blend" effect and the adjust the "Blend with Original" percentage to adjust the opacity of the box to your liking.

This works with any box colour and text colour and lets you keyframe the box opacity as a percentage. You can control the text opacity independently as well by using the Opacity property in the "CC Composite" effect.

Adding this one additional effect gives you a separate property you can keyframe for...
