Thank you, that was really useless.

Hi!

Here’s what I am trying to achieve. I’ve created a simple round shape layer that is scaling from 0 to 100% and disappearing after (opacity to 0%). Now I want to duplicate it multiple times (like x100 or more) and also randomize XY position. I know I can do it by hand but that wouldn’t be very effective. Is there a way (a script maybe?) to make…

Hi, I am trying this attempt but not sure what the steps are:

1) How the layers should be stacked? Which is on top, the middle, and on the bottom? Which one should have the effect on?
2) What do you mean by “changing the threshold?”

I don’t really know if it would work in my project so I’ll just show you exactly what I am doing.

In the screenshot you can see my comp. I am animating a dinosaur. He is doing different things in the whole comp. If those would be just “one shot” routines it won’t be a problem but sometimes he runs (cycled animation). In the screen you can see one…

Ok, I’ll try to explain as easy as possible with this example:

As you can see on the screenshot I have two objects that change their positions and rotate. It is a looped animation (the last keyframes are the same as the first one). Now I want to loop those properties (position and rotation) by copying those keyframes multiple times. But I want to…

Hmm, that doesn’t really solve the case. How about this: can I share an expression? So let’s say I make an expression on Position of the layer and now I want the same expression to be used on other Positions of 10 other layers but the first expression is the parent. So if I change anything in the first expression all the other expression will…

Hi!

I’m wondering is it possible to copy a keyframe with shared values? I use this feature in my audio editing program and would like to use the same trick in AE. So what I need is:

1. Copy a keyframe of a layer, let’s say Position.

2. Paste it in other place on the timeline

3. Now when I change the values of the original keyframe, the copies…

Your tip works ☺ Although I wonder is there a way to rotate the layer view? I need to rotate my 3d object, so when it is upside down and in the layer view it is not, the motion path is upside down 🙂

Sweet! I’ll give it a try, thanks!

Hi!

I am making an animation with some 3D objects that needs a puppet tool to animate. I’ll try to put it in a simple way:

I have two layers. One layer is a 3D null and its position is somewhere in the 3D space. Second layer is my 3d object that has a puppet pins added to it.
So both layers are 3D and the object is parented to the null. Of… Read more
