Use expressions: rCenter=thisComp.layer("center").position; rRadius=200; X=rCenter[0]+Math.sin(time)*rRadius; Y=rCenter[1]; Z=rCenter[2]+Math.cos(time)*rRadius; [X,Y,Z] Simply pin down your point of interest with a pickwhip expression to a Null and you are set. Modify values as needed. Myl...

Does anyone have any idea why this information is so hard to get or when it might likely become available? Seems at odds with how accessible everything else is. I guess you would have to spend considerable effort on it and start by separating the streams for this info in AE itself first. My knowled...

Not possible in AE. Doing so would require to know the stream profiling information based on the compression algorithm's matrices and algorithms which in turn would require to be able to scan all existing frames which in turn would mean AE had to render them and apply the compression afterwards. Nei...

I don't quite understand. The size of pre-comps when pre-composing them from the timeline is determined by the "Leave attributes in current comp" and "Move attributes to nested comp" options. Beyond that AE doesn't care for the actual sizes. If you need some specific alignment, a...

The way I understand you, you simply need a fixed segment length based on the proximity which can easily be done by dividing the space between keyframes and deciding which side you're on. From there you'd simply add/subtract the start time and feed it into your actual easing function rather than the...

Thanks,

Umm, you select it in the import dialog? Has worked for ages this way.

So I wonder if there's any global expression-refresh command? So I can easily just cycle through all expressions for a layer or comp to make them valid again...? No. There's a reason it behaves this way. And for the other matter: If your code doesn't evaluate, then it is crooked. By all means, AE w...

And it seems like the valueAtTime only works in scripts and not in expressions. It does. It's however merely a read-only method, which is only logical for a system, that evaluates at every frame anyways. As for the rest - well, consider for a moment, that you are permanently changing the start valu...

Check the manual for replacing footage. Absolutely no scripts required.

You could bake the cam by using the Expression to Keyframes keyframe assistant. For the rotation, you could copy the position of the POI to a Null, turn the camera's orientation property off, then apply a lookAt() expression to the orientation before baking. might provide some usable values for copy...

You cannot query font properties as of yet. It should be possible to find strings with indexOf() or regex(). Not sure what exactly you are looking for.

My question is, whether it is possible to protect a file AEP somehow? Nope. As Atomic said: If you don't want other people to use your stuff, don't leave it out in the open. There's a million ways to protect your stuff on the operating system/ file system level from simple setting user permissions ...

No idea what the video shows, but the make or break for audio pumping is defined by a secondary vibration. Rather than using the Soundkeys output directly, you would use it as a modulator for a wiggle() or constant sinusoidal motion's amplitude.

Transform data is converted using the layer space transforms, in your case something like m3D=thisComp.layer("Null1") m2D=m3D.toWorld(m3D.anchorPoint) would be proper. For the flipping issue you could re-create the orient with your own set of expressions or simply use one more level of par...
