Hello everyone,
Is there a way to measure the total width (and height) of a text layer, to automatically update the length (and height) of a shape layer? I produce web news segments with 7-15 lower thirds displays for each video. I'm looking for a more efficient way to re-size each nameplate. Currently I manually re-size each shape layer to fit the name. Is there an expression that will update the shape layer, based on the length (in pixels) of the text layer?
See an example video of what I'm talking about:

(look for the nameplates that animate-in at the beginning of each interview)
I've read everything I can get my hands on, but nothing has helped. Any help would be appreciated!
-RY
