Use this script to search for and edit text layers throughout your After Effects project. You can create your own text style presets and apply them to multiple layers at the click of a button.

HOW TO USE:

• Click the Search button to see a list of all text layers in your project, or use the search options to find specific layers based on the text contents, font name or layer comments.
• Select a text layer from the list, change the text or text style properties and see the results update instantly in your project.
• Create your own text style presets. Use the check boxes to choose which text or style properties you want to edit or save as a preset.
• Use the Turn On / Off buttons to turn selected layers on or off. Use the Refresh button to update the list after using Undo or changing text layers manually. Return to the search tab and do a new search to see any newly created text layers.
• To copy text style properties between layers, uncheck Auto Fetch, select the layer you want to copy and hit Fetch, then select the layers you want to change and hit Apply.
• Uncheck Auto Apply and use the Apply button instead if you’re trying to edit many layers at the same time, or if you don’t want each keystroke to be counted as a separate Undo.
