Text Chain earns its place in the aescripts library as a focused utility for linking text layers, with version 2.1 bringing a fix for international After Effects versions.
Text Chain is a script for After Effects from Braindot Design. It links different text layers dynamically and constrains the full string within a given width.
The catalog lists Text Chain at version 2.1, released on November 23, 2020. That update fixed an issue with international versions of After Effects. The 2.0 release before it made the tool compatible with macOS Catalina, resolved a licensing issue, and fixed a missing pseudo reference error that produced a 'missing effect reference' message. As of these updates, Text Chain supports After Effects 2020 and CC 2019. The initial release dates to July 2019.
Text Chain is listed here as free. For current licensing terms, downloads, and any newer builds, refer to the developer's page on aescripts.
Text Chain is best for after Effects users who need to link text layers and keep a full string constrained within a set width.
Text Chain is completely free to download and use.
Text Chain supports After Effects 2020 as well as CC 2019, according to its listed compatibility. The 2.0 update reduced compatibility to these two versions specifically, so older releases fall outside the current support range. If you run one of these versions, Text Chain is built to install and operate within your environment. For any details about running it on other versions, the developer's page on aescripts is the place to confirm the supported range before you install.
Text Chain became Catalina compatible with its 2.0 release, which also resolved a licensing issue and fixed a missing pseudo reference error that showed a 'missing effect reference' message. If you are on macOS Catalina running After Effects 2020 or CC 2019, the tool is built to work with that setup. Version 2.1 followed with a fix for international versions of After Effects. Check the developer's page for the most recent build before installing.

The 2.1 update is the most recent listed here. For any releases newer than this, refer to the developer's page on aescripts.
Text Chain is listed here as free. Pricing and licensing terms can change over time, so the developer's page on aescripts is the reliable source for current download and licensing details.
