Blend overlapping characters in a text layer
1. In the Timeline panel, expand the text layer and the More Options group.
2. Choose a blending mode from the Inter-Character Blending menu.
To blend a text layer with the layers beneath it, specify a blending mode from the Modes column in the Timeline panel.
Inter-character blending is not available for text layers with per-character 3D properties.
Text scale and baseline shift
Horizontal scale and vertical scale specify the proportion between the height and width of the text. Unscaled characters have a value of 100%. You
can adjust scale to compress or expand selected characters in both width and height.
Baseline shift controls the distance that text appears from its baseline, either raising or lowering the selected text to create superscripts or
subscripts.
To adjust scale, enter a new percentage for Horizontal Scale
or Vertical Scale
in the Character panel, or drag the underlined value.
To specify baseline shift, set a value for Baseline Shift
in the Character panel. A positive value moves horizontal text above and vertical
text to the right of the baseline; a negative value moves text below or to the left of the baseline.
Change the case of text
You can enter or format text as uppercase characters, either all caps or small caps. When you format text as small caps, After Effects uses the
small caps designed as part of the font, if they are available. If the font does not include small caps, After Effects generates faux small caps.
Small Caps formatting does not change characters that were originally typed in uppercase.
Click the All Caps button
or the Small Caps button
in the Character panel.
Choose All Caps or Small Caps from the Character panel menu.
You open the panel menu by clicking the panel menu button
in the upper-right tab of the panel.
Format text as superscript or subscript
Superscript characters are reduced in size and shifted above the text baseline; subscript characters are reduced in size and shifted below the text
baseline. If the font does not include superscript or subscript characters, After Effects generates faux superscript or subscript characters.
Click the Superscript button
or the Subscript button
in the Character panel.
Choose Superscript or Subscript from the Character panel menu.
You open the panel menu by clicking the panel menu button
in the upper-right tab of the panel.
