Advanced Auto-Resize Text Boxes in After Effects

In this video, we will learn how the sourceRectAtTime expression works, how to make the rectangle automatically resize to fit the text, how to make the size of the rectangle stay fixed even when the text is animated, how to make the anchor point of the text stay fixed (for example, in the center) regardless of how we change the text, how to use the rectangle as a mask for the text, how to apply sourceRectAtTime to the Scale property, for example, to the scale of a solid layer or other raster layers, and other small techniques.
