Re: How about center?

Thanks for joining the thread, Jason.
Your tip seems to be spot on, that's the option I was looking for... yet I can't find it!
I might be mislead because my AE interface is in Spanish, but under Animation > Range Selector, the only properties showing up are Start, End, and Offset, all of them percentages...
Now, the Character Alignment property does show up if I set up a Character Value animation, yet that's not the one I'm using, but Character Offset (slight but important different behaviour).
I can add an animation property for Character Separation (I guess this shows up as kerning in Eng GUI), but the property is numerical, I cannot set it to auto or adjust.

As for the character shifting location... yeah, I thought about that. The string is already alligned to center, and that hopefully will keep things reasonably steady, the animation is quite fast. I'd really have to try it to see if it looks right.

Thanks once more for your efforts, guys, I keep working on it.
Alex.
