Range selector not working with sourceRectAtTime()
Hello again, looks like I’m having new questions/problem for you guys -.-.
My composition is HDTV 1920*1080 29.97 8bpcThis is my text layer name “Multiple choice questions” . The layer in point is around 8 sec in the main composition.
It has animator for scale name scaley .
Another layer is shape layer 10, which is set to follow the “Multiple choice questions” by width and height of the text layer, by script in size and position. The layer in point is around 8 sec in the main composition.
This is for size of shape layer 10.
T=thisComp.layer("Multiple choice questions");
w=T.sourceRectAtTime(time-T.inPoint,true).width;
h=T.sourceRectAtTime(time-T.inPoint,true).height;
[w,h];
This is for position of shape layer 10.
T=thisComp.layer("Multiple choice questions")
w=T.sourceRectAtTime(time-T.inPoint,true).width/2;
h=T.sourceRectAtTime(time-T.inPoint,true).height/2;
l=T.sourceRectAtTime().left;
t=T.sourceRectAtTime().top;
[w+l,h+t] ;
The expression works fine when I move the “End” parameter of range selector without keyframing it.
But when keyframing it looks like the expression doesn’t work.
How can I fixed this problem, I tired searching through internet and I found one person says they got it right by create new text and using same expression. I tired, It doesn’t work, plss help T-T.
Note .
The tutorial i use come from two sources

What are shape’s Size and Position values when it disappears?

Oh wait.
T.sourceRectAtTime(time-T.inPoint,true) – you evaluate sourceRectAtTime at time-T.inPoint.
So at 9;22 it takes the size of the text’s rectangle at 9;22-7;28=1;24 which is zero, I suppose;Change it to T.sourceRectAtTime(time,true) everywhere, that should work.
