How do I get to this step in the tutorial?
Been doing this tutorial, but I get stuck.
Tut: https://library.creativecow.net/articles/ebberts_dan/noise.phpI have created the solid, and then do I double click into that to create a circle mask?
Also, I don’t know how to enter the properties, how do I get to the screen where it asks to enter the properties?
////////////////
Add this expression to the Position Property:
numRows = 10;
numCols = 10;row = Math.floor((index – 1)/numCols);
col = (index – 1)%numCols;
x = col*width + width/2;
y = row*height + height/2;
xOffset = (this_comp.width – numCols*width)/2;
yOffset = (this_comp.height – numRows*height)/2;[x,y,position[2]] + [xOffset,yOffset,0]
//////////
Thanks for any help 🙂

To make a circle mask you can double click on the circle mask icon (Left of the pen) on the toolbar. (If you can’t see the circle mask tool you need to click and hold on the square mask tool, to see all the available mask shape options.)
The property question looks like your first foray into expressions; expressions are incredibly powerful, and incredibly useful, but somewhat hidden away until you need them. To add an expression to any property, Alt + click on the animation stop-watch symbol and a new line will appear where you can add your expressions.
