Sorry, that goes beyond my knowledge, maybe Dan or Paul or Lloyd can help with this. My assumption is that you would have to get some kind of boolean (true/false) out of the sampleImage function and then use that to read the position value. But I unfortunately don't have time to play around with tha...

Hello everybody As some of you may have noticed, there have been a few problems with the forum the last few months. Some users are getting locked out, some are getting asked authorization codes, etc... I'm working on fixing all these problems. If you run into anything, please pm me or contact me dir...

Would be great to have a tool that allowed to type in some notes into a window in AE that documented the changes in a version of a project like "Changed myComp_43, added two layers of leaves and adjustment layer with desaturate" Ideally you would be able to search these notes without havin...

Very cool, thanks Ben

I have a 3d camera that has some expressions applied to it to make it behave in a handheld fashion. I have one 2d layer amidst my 3d layers that needs to stay 2d for multiple reasons. Is there a way I can have it react to the camera's motion somehow? It is very slight, but visible somehow.... Thanks...

Yes it does, actually just phrasing the question made me realize what the answer was. Thank you for clarifying even further

Are you talking about doing this in a procedural way so that the light is always at a 45% distance from the end point? You'd probably have to calculate the length of the beam for that, which you could probably do by doing some comp math with the beginning and end point of the laser. The non procedur...

This is sooo awesome! Please do add the possibility of customizing this, it would reach even greater heights of awesomeness

Just fixed a hack where the forum was being redirected to a Turkish website. Sorry for the downtime

I can't tell you how awesome this is for projects that bring in a ton of layers from FCP via Automatic Duck. Just amazing

You guys do know you can get rid of the point of interest all together right?

context click on cam->transform->auto-orient set to none

The easiest way to do this would be to use the Expression Controls (check the effects menu).
Depending on the type of data you expression is creating, or reading, you can easily controls its effects via keyframes.

This is going to be a huuuuge asset to my workflow!
Thanks Lloyd!
