Do you still have access to the 3D application or file that generated the ribbon footage?

What version of AE do these commands work with?

Is this CS3 only?

Verified, it works with AE 6.5.

It did complain with some kind of layering message, but the cube did generate.

Hmm...

It does not work on Ae 6.5 I get an error on line 31.
Panel Is Undefined

Code: Select all

var win =   (thisObj instanceof Panel) ? thisObj : new Window('palette', 'Build 3D Cube',[300,100,670,270]);
Is this for CS3 only?

The demo I saw was on a DVD, it is not online. AutoLevels, you simply apply to a layer. The controls are very simple. Adjust the temporal smoothing (I guess this is the look ahead/back). Blend original if neccessary. It also has companions called "AutoContrast", and "AutoColor" w...

The auto levels effect may help you out?

I saw a demo on using it to de-flicker a time lapsed sky.

It is much easier to do that kind of work in a true 3D app. Sphere's are one of the simplest primitives to work with in any 3D app. You can use the same 2D globe map in a 3D app as well. Then create a plane, use the pin image as an image map for the plane, parent the plane to the sphere and make the...

I guess, I was over-thinking it.

All I needed to do was to adjust the tangent handles of the time remap keyframes themselves to create a logarithmic curve.

No expression is needed.

So Time Remap is expecting a "time" value, not a "frame" value?

I assumed Time Remap was expecting frames.

Hi Dan, That is close. Here is my setup. I have a comp with two layers in it. A text layer. A 50 frame precomp. I apply this code to the text layer source text. f = timeToFrames(time); g =0.0003 "Frame: " + Math.round(g*f*f) I apply this code to the precomp Time Remap. f = timeToFrames(tim...

Time Accleration Woes

Hi All, I have been trying and trying to find a way to speed up the time of a precomp. It seems like a simple enough feature, I see it all the time. And maybe I am making this more complicated than it needs to be. But here is what I want to do. Let's say I have a ten second precomp. I time remap it ...

Bradshaw 1965,

That is exactly what I thought.

But what expression would I apply to the slider to make it start slow then speed up?

I like it Paul, nice work. It is fairly easy to extend as well. Simply duplicate expression layers as needed and do a CTRL-ALT-/ to replace solid with footage. I notice, in the "controllayer" you have some key frames that are animating the layers position and y-rotation. They don't seem to...

Movie Trailer Image Flash By

Hi All, I am trying to create the often seen look, in movie trailers, when a series of images flash by really fast. I have modified Byon Nash's code to get me part of the way. Essentially, create a blank comp, then run the script and browse to a folder of images or footage. The script will create a ...

Dan, Thanks for the reply. I am using AE7.0. Just to be clear, is this how I use the expression? I enable time remapping on my precomp. Then I paste the expression into the time remap value. Using this technique, I still end up with blank frames being displayed by the expression. It seems like the e...
