Photoshop type in After Effects.
If you ever scale your Photoshop text in a psd that you later import into After Effects, you can end up with something like an 1 pt. text layer scaled up to 489%. I've seen way more extreme numbers that that. Why is Photoshop mysteriously changing your text scale and font size without telling you? This has been going on for at least 10 years. I've gotten into the habit of never scaling text in Photoshop because of this software version of irritable bowel syndrome.

- Is your ppi set wrong in PS? PS works in inches lulznb
- Ps and Ae should work in pixels tho'grafician
- I have Photoshop units set to pixels. You can change it to picas, points, inches, mm, cm or percent. AE is pixels and type measurements are in points.CyBrainX
- The appearance of the type from PS in AE looks right but the scale and font size are messed up and it can be a problem in some cases.CyBrainX
- This is weird, photoshop used to not change your pt size when you performed a transform on a text layer (IE: 7pt type, scaled at 200% looks 14 but still is 7pt)zarkonite
- but a few YEARS ago it changed that behaviour to changing the point size... so maybe just reset all your setting and see what happens?zarkonite
- I change all the settings every time I get a PSD from someone else who doesn't know about this issue and scales the photoshop text several times before sharing.CyBrainX
- outline type om PS. retype it in AE and match the outlined layer. then delete the psd layer?shapesalad
- I could do that but it's quicker to change the scale to 100% and match the type size from Photoshop.CyBrainX
- I usually convert PS type layers to a native AE type via the "Create" menu; If changes occur I just make them in AE going forward.evilpeacock
