See attached images for reference.

Please forgive the somewhat newbie question.  I'm doing nameplates that are datalinq populated and animate on the Y Axis. Sometimes the names are long and extend past the mask on the start of the animation.  Is there a way for the names to always have the same start point based on the width of the text box?  I imagine it's accomplished via a script and an event in the scene director but I just don't know how to accomplish it.

Thanks for the help.

Hey Roman!

Thank you for responding!  After opening your project file; thank you for that by the way, I realized that I meant to say I'm animating on the X Axis instead of Y.  With that being said, I'm basically trying to get my first keyframe to automatically adjust based on the length of the name.
