# Functions

To apply the effects, simply select the (text) layer(s) in your composition and hit the corresponding button. The script will create and adapt a shape layer, which is parented to your previously selected (text) layer. 

#### Parenting

Once created you can change the parent of the TextBG or TextLINE shape layer at any time. The layer will then jump and change dynamicly to its new parent. 

#### Not just text layers

The usage of the effect layers is not limited to only text layers. Any layer which has a bounding box (which is basically every layer except cameras and light since they don't have dimensions) can work as a parent layer for the effect layers.
