subtitle background auto vertical resize

Question

subtitle background auto vertical resize

Hi,

I have managed to create a subtitle template in Motion with a background which automatically resizes depending on the length of the line of text (using the 'Link' behaviour), but I would like to add vertical resize so that if you had a second line of text it resizes to fit. So far my attempts have failed because the text and background box come out of alignment.

Is there a way to do this please? Or maybe there is a much easier way than building your own template in Motion? Any help would be appreciated as it would be a big time saver for me.

Thanks!

Great!

A little note: after my last post, I realized that we can do this with one less Link behavior if we link Size->All, instead of Width and Height separately. However, by keeping them separate we reserve the option to adjust each differently (say, for example, add some 10% to the height and keep the width tightly around the text, or vice-versa).
