Paragraph Plus
Power-ups for paragraph text.
Description
Bizarrely, but completely on-brand for Adobe, there’s a bunch of stuff that you can do with paragraph (or box) text layers that is only accessible via the scripting API.
For some inexplicable reason, these super useful functions never found their way into the UI — well, until we came along.
Designed to be the perfect companion to the native Paragraph panel, Paragraph Plus adds new functionality with a familiar interface that fits right into your workspace.
Software: After Effects 24.6+
Operating system: macOS/Windows
What makes it Plus?
Unlike our Pro line of tools, which are complete, drop-in replacements for their native counterparts, our Plus tools are designed to be the perfect companions. Put simply, they aim to augment and enhance, not replace.

01
Vertical alignment
Horizontal alignment is old news. Align text vertically to the top, bottom, or center, or even stretch it to fill the full height of the box.
02
Auto-fit to height
Choose how you’d like the box height to fit the text content. (Width, sadly, is off the table).
03
Text box position
This isn’t about moving the entire text layer, it’s the text box’s position relative to the layer’s anchor point. Move the box, and the anchor stays put.
04
Text box size
Ever needed to set the exact width and height of a text box? Now you can — no messing about with guides or other hacky workarounds.
05
Text box padding
Control the inner padding of the text box, with one caveat: the same value applies to all four sides.
06
First baseline alignment
Control the position of the first line of text relative to the top of the box. Choose a preset (like x-height or leading), or dial it in yourself.
