Set vertical text by Script adobe after effects

I have set text like this below.

var myTextLayer = mainComposition.layers.addText();
var textProp = myTextLayer.property("Source Text");
textDoc = textProp.value;
textDoc.text = 'my test text';
textProp.setValueAtTime(0,textDoc);

I want to set text as vertical text, However I couldn't find attribute here.

Is there any other property I can check???

I appreciate any help or hint.

Thank you very much.

Solution

  • Programatically, you can split the text at each character and then join it back with carriage returns:

    let textSource = value;
let newText = textSource.split("").join("\n");
newText;

    Or, in one line of code:

    value.split("").join("\n");

    Or easier...use the vertical text tool:
