About Line Em Up
Line Em Up is a script for After Effects created by Gary Reisman to align layers within a composition. It dynamically lines up text layers of different styles as well as non‑text layers, allowing mixed content to be arranged in a single workflow. Version 1.1 adds the ability to scale text layers, supports paragraphs with any justification, introduces initial text‑layer alignment, and applies an anchor‑point expression to improve spacing accuracy. The script is compatible with After Effects releases from 2020 through 2025, including the 2021‑2024 versions. A demo video is available to illustrate its operation before installation.
