  • Looking for a Dan Ebberts expression mentioned in Automated Odometer Tut!

    Hello all!

    I’m looking for some help on a certain expression mentioned in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCgzv_3U5is (around 11:30)

    Aharon talks about a modified expression for the odometer control slider expression that makes the next number spot not change until the preceding value makes the turn from 0 to 9.

    I hope that’s not super confusing, hopefully I can get some help from the man himself! I’m pretty new to expressions, though fairly comfortable with the workflow and tools/effects.

    Thanks!

    Adam

    Unfortunately, I can’t seem to find that one. I do have another one (better, I think). I’d post it, but it was a work for hire, so I don’t really feel at liberty to hand it out.

    Ah, bummer. Is the general idea pretty complex? I have the expressions from the above video all set up…not sure if it’s a tweak of that or something entirely different.

    Anyway, thanks for responding!

    I found it! He actually included it in one of the project files I hadn’t looked into:

    Thousands place-holder example:

    slider = thisComp.layer(“Null 1”).effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”);
    myDigit = Math.floor(slider/1000)%10;
    previous = slider%1000/1000;
    myVal = myDigit + linear(previous,.999,1.0,0,1);
    y = linear(myVal,0,10,1500,0);
    x = value[0];
    [x,y]

    In case that helps anyone down the road.

    Thanks!
