Malex, This code does not seem to really work. No matter what values I put in, it does not change the speed or duration of footage. I applied it to a time map of a precomp. I am looking for a way to randomly select a frame from a precomp, have it remain on screen for x number of frames, then choose ...

This kind of works, but there is no hold.
Code: Select all
startRot = 500; // Start rotate 500 pixels from camera.
endRot = 1500; // End rotate 1500 pixels from camera.
C = thisComp.activeCamera.toWorld([0,0,0]);
P = toWorld(anchorPoint);
d = length(C,P);
linear(d,startRot,endRot,180,0)

Dan, No it does not matter. I got this idea from watching some footage I made with my camcorder. It was the end of summer and there is green grass and dead leaves on the lawn. I put my camcorder in the grass and drove it around the lawn like a kid would do with a tonka truck. This produced a neat ef...

Layers Rotate Into View As Camera Approaches.
Hi All, I am trying to make an expression to achieve a certain effect. Imagine a comp 720x480, a solid 3D layer 160x600 and a camera. I move the anchor point of the solid to the bottom of the solid. Now I can rotate the X axis and make it lay flat from the bottom. I want to put a bunch of these litt...

I'm not sure if your layers are text or images, but here is a link to a script that will import everything in a folder and make a comp for you. http://www.aenhancers.com/viewtopic.php?t=719 http://aenhancers.com/viewtopic.php?t=102 The code in this script actually generates expressions for you, so i...

I guess your right, I can not connect either. Jscript is Microsoft based and After Effects Javascript seems to be proprietary. I did find this arcticle: http://www.creative-workflow-hacks.com/2006/06/08/how-to-use-a-spreadsheet-to-generate-lower-thirds-slates-titles-etc-in-after-effects/ So how does...

Thanks Dan, That looks like it works! Hmmm... An interesting side effect of this expression is that is crashes After Effects 7 if you change the length of your comp. Here is the work flow for creating the crash. 1.)Make a new comp that is 10 seconds long. 2.)Add some text and turn on the 3D switch. ...

Camera After Motion Between Frames
Hi All, I have been trying to do camera after motion. I have this expression: t = time- key(2).time; if (t < 0) { value; } else { veloc =28; amplitude = 60; decay =2.05; x = amplitude*Math.cos(veloc*t)/Math.exp(decay*t); y = amplitude*Math.sin(veloc*t)/Math.exp(decay*t); value + [x,y]; } Which does ...
