After Effects: Get value from a layer below
This is a short tutorial – breaking my duck – showing you how you can have multiple text layers in one comp, that inherit a value (text, a string, in this case the numbers of a year), do something with this (add one), and then convert it back for use.
In this short tutorial you’ll learn how to convert text (a string), to a number (integer) so you can apply maths to it, then convert it back and use it again in another text layer.
