Thanks a lot Hector and Tom! really appreciate your help and your advices.

Since you’ve been so kind, I will allow myself to show you the storyboard I had in mind (attached) and ask you some more questions, thank you very much in advance! I hope to be able to return the favour soon 🙂

Do you mean it is possible to create several timelines in after effects (with effects) and then simply replace the image with the video (of speaker 1 for example) in premiere?

Question 2: is it then possible to change the length of each part? e.g. if in the template I have 20 seconds with one speaker and 20 seconds with 3 speakers and the PPT take them to 50 seconds?

Question 3: this one is more complicated I think. Is there a way to leave the possibilities open to those who edit the video in Premiere? I mean that he can decide, for example, that a video already starts with 2 speakers and a PPT presentation rather than that there is several times the change from 1 to 2 speakers and vice versa? Or do I already need to define the storyline from beginning to end and eventually create several MOGRT?

I don’t know how to thank you for your valuable help, a big hug
Alessio

I just notice that the expression is working but is not showing special characters: like “ü” or “?”, any idea why instead of those there’s an empty space?

thanks a lot again

Hi Filip!
Do you know how I could modify the expression so that the slider will let appear the entire words and not individual letters one after the other?

kind regards and thank you in advance

Actually, even if I export with John’s settings and then convert the file to mp4 with media encoder, it still generates the black line. Never mind, the main problem is solved. Now I’ll do some testing to find a satisfactory lowres 🙂

Thanks a lot for your time and help!

Best

Thank you very much, these settings solve the problem! The only thing is the file weight, what format would you recommend for a lowres export or for social media if mp4 causes the problem?

thanks again

best regards

dear Andy and John

Thanks a lot for your time. Here is the After Effects file (it gives the problem when exporting even if there is no motion), the exported mp4 and the export settings.

Thank you very much Alessio

Hi Andy, thanks for you time!
Actually is doing it with both; illustrator and After Effects shapes. here I tried to create a shape from scratch in after effects and make sure it has no stroke assigned. Yet there are still black borders in export (right split screen)

Hi Filip,
thanks a lot for your answer. You’re right. There was to many undefined points; in my message and in my head 🙂

I finally opted for an easier solution, but I will treasure your questions in the future

Thanks a lot
Alessio
