Source Text
Reach it with layer.property("Source Text"), layer.text.sourceText, property("Text").property("Source Text") or matchName ADBE Text Document. Its value is a TextDocument; change it and give it back with setValue(doc) (or setValue("new text")).
var st = layer.property("Source Text");
var doc = st.value;
doc.text = doc.text.replace(/old/g, "new");
doc.fontSize = 96;
st.setValue(doc);Source Text can't be keyframed or given an expression from a script.

Text animators
property("Text").property("Animators").addProperty("ADBE Text Animator")animator.property("Properties").addProperty(…)for:
| Property | matchName |

| Scale | ADBE Text Scale 3D |
| Rotation | ADBE Text Rotation |
| Skew | ADBE Text Skew |

animator.property("Selectors").addProperty("ADBE Text Selector")or"ADBE Text Wiggly Selector".
