The Source Code To Wiggle?

Can anyone explain the source code to wiggle?

I am trying to write a python equivalent of the wiggle function and wonder where to start?

Does anyone know what is "under the hood" of this built-in AE function?

Re: Random ones and zeros

Isn't there an animation preset for doing that with text?

Re: 3D Stroke

I just created a BLENDER file where you can emulate the Affter Effects stroke effect.

This is the closest I could get for free.

Re: set a layers opacity?

Here is some example code that might get you going. It fades a layer over time. //Auto animate the fade in and out for this layer. myOpacity= curLayer.property("opacity"); myOpacity.setValueAtTime(curIn,0); myOpacity.setValueAtTime(curIn + 0.25,100); myOpacity.setValueAtTime(curOut - 0.25,...

Script To Convert Mask To Position in 3D

Hi All, I know I can select a mask shape, copy it, and paste that into a position property. But this does not seems to work when the mask resides on a layer in 3D. Basically I have a 2D mask with a stroke. this is my road. Now I want my camera to travel down the road along the mask path. My workflow...

Rubik replaceSources.jsx produces an error

Hi All,

I started to play around with the rubik script located at nabscripts.com. The cube generator seems to work fine, but every time I run the replaceSources followup script, it errors out.

Does anyone know how this is supposed to work?

Re: Using audioAmp2videoSpeed?

Got it!

I'm still not sure how to make use of this. Why can I set a negative value, my video just comes to a stop? Can music make the video play backwards?

Using audioAmp2videoSpeed?

Hi All,

Just wondering how to use the audioAmp2videoSpeed script? (http://www.nabscripts.com)

I have a comp with a piece of video in it. I have an audio layer.

I select the video layer.

When I run the script, it complains I do not have a certain effect (both chanels)?

What does this mean?

Re: Applying an expression just at exact layer time

All you ave to do is add an else to the if statement.

Code: Select all

thisFrame=timeToFrames(t=time+thisComp.displayStartTime,fps=1.0/thisComp.frameDuration,isDuration=false);
if (thisFrame==10)
{
text.sourceText = 'This is frame #10 text.';
}
else
{
text.sourceText = "This is the default text."
}

Re: Applying an expression just at exact layer time

Here is how to set the source text of a text layer based upon the frame #. thisFrame=timeToFrames(t=time+thisComp.displayStartTime,fps=1.0/thisComp.frameDuration,isDuration=false); if (thisFrame==0){text.sourceText = 'Hello World';} If you want to apply something to a group of layers you may be able...

Re: script to create 3d cube

Stolichnaya,

Yes, that is the reason why. You could try my original version (up a post or two) without the GUI and simply put in your comp size and match the ratio by hand.

Re: Best way for moving a camera

When I animate the camera, I select the camera layer and press the P-KEY and then hold shift and press the A-KEY. This brings up the position and point of interest parameters. I turn on the stop watch for both of them. Then I just animate as normal, recording two keyframes for each move via the C-KE...

Re: Stretch and dropping effects

You might apply a spring expression to the corners controls of a corner pinned layer.

You can always just Select All and press the U-Key. Any expressions will be revealed.
