So here under our Extrude object for the first bar, we've set those keyframes, and as you can see, the height is kind of changing. So we would like to use that to drive the height of a MoGraph MoText object. And one way we can do that is through the use of Set Driven keys. So under my Extrude object, we'll go to Movement. Right-click and say Set Driver under the Expressions. This is going to drive the value of our MoText coordinate Y position. So I'll select my Y position and then right-click Expression, Set Driven. Right now our text is super tiny, so I'm going to increase the height to maybe 1,000 and we'll also just nudge this guy over a little bit. So let's rewind, Shift + F. And hitting F8, we now have a MoText object that follows along with the height of that bar. So let's take it a little bit…
