Text Chain

Developer: Braindot Design

Download Free

Links After Effects text layers dynamically and keeps the combined string within a set width.

What Text Chain does

Text Chain, by Braindot Design, connects separate text layers so they behave as one string. When one changes, the others follow, and the whole line can be held inside a chosen width.

This is handy for titles made of differently styled words, such as a bold name followed by a lighter title. Version 2.1 supports After Effects 2020 and CC 2019, works on macOS Catalina and fixes a problem with international versions.
