Hi this plugin looks really helpful! I was wondering is this plugin also compatible when creating a motion graphics template?
I guess not?
Thanks in advance!
Hi Maarten
Are you referring to a .mogrt? If not, you can create templates with the plugin however the customer must also have the plugin for it to work on their end.
When I use this effect to make text box, and duplicate text layers.
If I change words each text layer, All text box width are different depend on the words count.
also , everytime I need to adjust width from Individual Expansion controller ,
but I need to align center all text layers to match perfect width all layers.
sometimes, I want to keep the box size even though I change the words.
So, I wish you add Square size mode which I can make text box by just type Square size.
it helps to create many text boxes in same size easier.
(2)
When I change layer scale property, text box does not scale in same ratio.
for example, When I scale Text layer 100% → 1%. TEXT is almost disappear but text box is still exist.
thank you.
Hi Asa
Thanks for your suggestions.
Regarding suggestion 2: it would be a "expansion mode: relative or absolute", is that correct? That way, if it were relative you could scale the layer and it would remain the same visual result at 1% scale, or 1000%.
I purchased TextBox 2 and I got invalid filter error file, how I can fix this? Thank you
Hi Mochamad
Apologies for this. Could you please open a support ticket with your AE version and OS version? I can also suggest installing via the aescripts manager app as that can eliminate certain permission errors
I'm trying to stack Text Box so it can wipe-on several iterations of the same word - But Text Box doesn't stack like normal effects. As you can see I'm trying to apply CC composite between the two boxes. But when I apply the second text box effect it goes under the previous one. It kinda defies AE Plug logic. Is there a way we can get a composite option similar to CC composite?

Interesting, it would be good to have it working like your desired result. The difference with TextBox to most plugins is that it's specifically drawing the effect under the original layer, similar to a drop shadow. I wonder if a "solo box" option would allow this to work. Could you please contact me at [email protected] so we can work this out?
Currently that's not possible with one copy of TextBox, but I would suggest applying the effect to each separate line. This script is very helpful in taking one text layer and splitting it up into individual layers.
I use 2 computer, so I deactivate on one and activate on the other one when I need to. Up until today it worked, but suddenly I am getting the cross on my screen as if the license was not activated when it is (the cross does not show up in the project but does upon rendering it).
I ended up purchasing a second license today because I have a pressing project I need to render ASAP, but that did not fix the problem.
(Before purchasing the second license I restarted, cleared my cache, saved the project again, deleted the effect and added a clean one... still not working).
I ended up removing the effect from the layer and creating it manually.

Hi Romy
Apologies for the inconvenience this caused you. I would suggest managing the activation via the aescripts manager app. Here you can activate and deactivate all licenses. If the problem persists, could you please open a ticket so we can find a solution.
Is it possible to use textbox with a similar range function to text delay? I would like to be able to apply the textbox to an entire line of text or individually word by word in a paragraph.
Good idea Ethan, I hadn't thought of this before but it makes perfect sense if you want to highlight certain text.
I have a question that David bennet asked in October 2020 but seemingly there was no reply how to do this.
Q: How would I achieve text typing with a typewriter effect so that the border extends with each letter or word as it appears?
Currently the background text block is already there and the type fills the space when it’s the typewriter style including background block I want to achieve.
If there is a way then I will purchase the license I have this on Try mode right now. Everything else on the plugin looks great!

Hi Rob
Unfortunately there is still no way to do this in TextBox 2, we're going to add this functionality to TB3 in the future.
I just tested your plugin. I'm pondering whether I replace it with my currently expression only text boxes for performance reasons. It renders a textbox about 3-5 times as fast as my expression based boxes. There are two features that are missing for me:
Text box fitting to every line in a paragraph. Your plugin creates a box for the longest line of text only. I currently solve this by resizing several text boxes separately with expressions, which is of course pretty slow.
An option to fix the box "base" height to the length between the baseline and cap height. (To make the box height more consistent.)
Are there any plans for this? It seems like a great plugin, but I need these features to make it useful for me.

Hi Kilian
Thanks for your comment. We have v3 currently in beta release which has per-line abilities which would solve point 1.
Would you have a visual example of point 2 so I could give a more informed answer?

Hey, thank you for you quick response.
I just made an example. I hope this is helpful.
This is made with my own text box expression, which implements a hacky way of doing it, by having a hidden capital letter from which I query the height from.

Do you have an estimation when V3 will be ready?
Thank you very much!
Hi Kilian
Thanks for the screenshot. Unfortunately none of the padding, baseline, ascender or descender info from text is exposed to c++ plugins so it's not possible The best that could be done is using our ascender/descender feature which similarly to your solution, uses a preset character that you set the height for, and then that height and Y-axis origin is propagated to your actual text.
We have a stable beta version of TB3 which you're welcome to use if you'd like to join our beta community, just email me at [email protected]
Just bought textbox and trying to do a larger body of text with it, but when i do that the multiple lines of textboxes are all merdeg into one single box which is not very pretty or useful. How do I keep the textboxes more aligned with the words and how do I make sure that there are gaps between the lines?

Hi Zsolt
Currently this is not possible with a single multiline layer of text. The recommended workaround is to use the free script "decompose text", which will split a multiline layer of text into layers of one line each.
TextBox and text may blink even though opacity is not changed or other effects are not used.
Do you know what the cause is?
Hi Takanori
No I'm not sure why it would be doing this, could you please open a support ticket and send me the .aep so I can recreate the issue on my end and hopefully find a fix?

Thanks James! Do you know an easy way to do that effect (text boxes with opacity animation)? Maybe if I use the decompose text script and yours plugin... some help here please!
Yes I use the decompose text to do multi-line with TB2. Break it into multiple lines with one as the parent so the others will inherit its transforms. You could also link up the multiple TB2 effects with expressions to make it easier.
Hello there, is it possible to export the textlayer as an Essential Graphic to let other people work with it in Premiere Pro? Or do they need the PlugIn, too? — And is it working left-justified or just when the text in centered? — Thanks for your help!

Hi Lars
It works with text that is aligned in any way... left, right, centered.
I'm unsure whether it can be used as an essential graphic as I don't have experience with it. You're welcome to download the free trial as it's fully functional (it will render with a watermark).
Some people do use it via dynamic link in premiere pro but it's not officially supported, I think it can be a bit buggy in that case.
Hi. TB2 is a great plug-in. I use it all the time. One functionality request: If you slide text in from offscreen, the textbox doesn't appear until the text is actually visible on onscreen. So, the textbox pops into existence already onscreen instead of sliding in with the text. Is there a workaround? Thanks.

Hi Christian
Thanks for your comment, we will add this by default in the next version. Until then you can add the grow bounds effect so that it won't clip.
Hi, I don't know if it's a bug but when we make a scale effect, the defined block doesn't stay at the same size, if I reduce below 100% the block becomes bigger and if I go above 100% it becomes smaller, how to correct this so that the block stays the same whatever the scale thanks

Hi Mystery Machine
Have responded to your ticket and will post here for others wondering:
this is due to the expansion being measured in pixels. If you'd like it to respect the scale, I would add an expression that multiplies the expansion by the layer scale.
Hi, the ascenders/descenders lock works great if you have one line of text, but if you have a block of text like 5 lines and are using the typewriter effect, it will start the height of the box at the full height of the final paragraph rather than expand the height with the text line by line as it would do if unchecked. Is there a way to fix this without manually keying the box expansion?
Will the plugin be updated to AE 2024? As for now, version 1.2.6 doesn't work in AE 2024.
Thank you
Hi Levi
We've tested and it's working in Ae 2024. In future the plugin should work out of the box on all new Ae versions. We recommend installing it into the mediacore folder, once placed here it will be seen by all versions of AE above CS6 which is super handy:

Is it possible to do the opacity effect and multiline single layer? Thanks!
