COW Tutorials: After Effects Creating 3D Ribbon Text

[Steve Morris]

I am stuck again. This time I got a little farther.

at:

A LITTLE DUPLICATION

When I add the expression: thisComp.layer(2).text.sourceText
The 3 turns to a T.
Is this right? I am copying and pasting the expressions, so there should be no sytax error

When I paste the expression for the color charactersistics the light blue T becomes red.

When I paste the Position expression, the T dissapears

Initial tracking slider does not affect anything that I can tell.

I stopped there.

Make sure that the expressions in Layer 2 are not disabled.

Hi Dave:

Can you or someone else at the COW please repair that one syntax error with the quotation marks at the duplicating comps stage? I just wasted about a maddening hour trying to understand what the syntax error was before I discovered it. Otherwise, great tutorial!

Sorry about getting to this so late, I’ve been busy on another project. I will see if the folks at the Cow can amke that repair.
