    February 1, 2009 at 3:45 pm in reply to: OT – good uses of video on the web?

    Hi Chris – thanks for the suggestions.

    I did find some interesting videos on vimeo.
    Although as with a lot of these sites, you do have to trawl through an awful lot of dross to find them.

    I think what i was really meaning, rather than sites that host videos, i was looking to see how people were using video in creative ways within their own websites.

    Regards

    you could do a lot worse than watch all the video tutorials on the Cow, as well as those by Andrew Kramer at videocopilot.net.
    The other good thing is you can always go back to double check things months later, and they are free! Always a bonus for students.

    Good books are always worth having (i hate the AE manual – don’t think i’ve ever found a useful hint or tip anywhere in it)….Trish and Chris Meyer, Mark Christiansen all have excellent books on AE, but i don’t remember the titles right now.

    Good luck.

    thanks Dan,

    I’m beginning to wish (for the first time in 25 years) that i had actually paid attention in maths class.

    regards

    certainly xavier…

    First, the track data was copied into a null object.
    i typed some text and placed it onscreen roughly where i needed it, then twirled down the layer properties, opened the Text properties and alt clicked the Source Text stopwatch. Then i dragged the pickwhip to the Null/Motion Trackers/Track Point 1/Attach Point and held it to the x coordinates and released.
    This then puts the current track data into the text file. The code that Dan gave was the finishing touch to truncate the numeric value to show only 3 numbers after the decimal point instead of 12 !!

    Repeat the process but using the y coordinate if you want to have 2 text layers showing the two different axis.
    regards

    please ignore my stupidity Dan….just realised the expression was not working because i applied it to a different layer!!

    Many thanks Dan,

    i have tried that several times and keep getting an error message saying “…expression result must be of dimension 2, not 1.”

    Any idea what that means?

    regards

    I have worked out part of the answer and now have the data from a tracker x position appearing onscreen and animating with the track data….

    the only problem is the number being displayed is showing to 12 decimal places which is far too many digits!!.

    How do i tell AE to only display 3 decimal places?

    thanks
    Adam

    December 18, 2008 at 9:16 am in reply to: Adjustment layer question

    hmmm, i guessed as much. For this particular job, precomping was just going to introduce more difficulties.
    I was hoping someone knew of a sneaky way to tell a layer to ignore the adjustment without involving a pre-comp.

    thanks for confirming what i suspected.
