I'm having a hard time getting the text out of the styled text field of Text+ tool with Python. Thanks in advance!

As most other controls in Fusion, the StyledText is animatable,
so even it's not animated, you'll have to query the value at a specific time:

Code: Select all

Text1.StyledText[CurrentTime]

or

Code: Select all

=Text1.StyledText[0]

with the value in square brackets being the frame of the comp you want to get the value at.

Thank you Eric! You are a life saver again!
