vangel76andClaude Opus 5.5 8ea876914d Text animators: Tracking Amount in pixels, Subtract selectors stop at 0, as After Effects
A text animator's Tracking Amount is in pixels in After Effects 2026, not in
1/1000 em like the Character panel's tracking: Amount 30 on every character
adds 30 px between neighbours (half before, half after each) at 80 px and at
40 px. And a Subtract range selector over characters the first selector
leaves out keeps them at 0 instead of selecting them negatively. With both,
the EXPORTER's t8 layer D (Tracking 30 on characters 2-4 by index, Subtract
over the last 20 %) puts every glyph where AE does (it ended 88 px short,
1553 vs 1641; now 1641).

The "Tracking In" text preset animates 40 -> 0 px (was 400 -> 0 thousandths
of an em, about the same at 100 px text); Lottie export writes a style run's
tracking (1/1000 em) as pixels for its tracking animator, which Lottie
players add in pixels.
