After Effects Tutorial - Dynamic Text Box Without Using Expression

After Effects Tutorial - Dynamic Text Box Without Using Expression
Learn in less than 5 min how to create a dynamic text box that changes size automatically to the text, on one text layer without using expressions with any font, in Adobe After Effects.

- Auto-Resize to your text without any 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.
Effects used are inbuilt of After Effects. They are
- Set Channel
