  • About links from Slider Control to Slider Control on other comps

    Posted by Fabio Santos on March 3, 2016 at 8:59 pm

    Hi! I have a doubt.

    1) I have a comp front_mouths inside other comp (heads) > front_man > man_positions > man. – Look at the img 01.jpg.
    2) Inside front_head I have a Slider control (Slider_mouths) and the front_mouths linked to this Slider control. – Look at the img 01.jpg.
    3) The front_head’s Slider_mouths linked to Slider_mouths from man comp. – Look at the img 02.jpg.
    4) The man’s Slider_mouths moves only in first frame. From second frame to forward don’t change de mouths. – Look at the img 02.jpg.

    How can I fix it?

    Hi Walter!

    You can do the download in this URL: https://we.tl/paXt3opbTQ

    The file is in Afx CC 2015 and you need to use de Duik plugin. https://duduf.net/index.php/products/after-effects/duik/download/

    Thanks you

    I think your issue comes from the fact that your comps do not all share common time. Frame 1 in “man” does not necessarily might correspond with frame 6 in “man_positions,” which might correspond with frame 10 in “3Q_rgt_front_man,” etc.

    It might be better to keep a common timebase for all your comps and precomps and use the sliders to control the opacity of different character rig layers, only revealing the precomps/layers you need according to the slider values.

    Hi Walter!

    I did like you said and worked well! The cod used it’s the bellow:

    var=comp(“mainComp”).layer(“layerControl”).effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”);

    if(var==0){
    100;
    }else{
    0;
    }

    Thanks!
