Is it possible to bound text to a box of fixed dimensions? VIDEO

Hi,

Please check https://www.loom.com/share/bfac7419cccb4dcd8b831c416bf71168

I am trying to have dynamic text restricted to a box (i.e so it looks like it is on a billboard) but the scale option only really works when all of the text is of a similar length. Shorter text blows out the vertical axis (please see video)

Thanks
Simon

@simon_t apologies for the long delay. We haven’t been receiving notices for new posts, but I believe we corrected that issue. It looks like the video at the loom link isn’t active anymore. If you set a scale factor on the text layer, and make sure that it is within it’s own precomp that is the size of the text box you want, it should fit the text to the dimensions of the precomp.
