I figured it out by way of research on the internet…
it had to do with Project Settings of video rendering and playback…it has to be set to MPE Software Only to output to tape, external monitor, or anything of that nature.

[Barry Suydam]

This is my first experience with premiere. Never output to tape however it digitizes tape fine.

Deck: Sony DV AU 25(HDV, DVCam, HDV, 1080i,mini DV)
Sequence Settings: DV NTSC 29.97 Drop Frame timecode widescreen 1.21…
I am working on a machine:
HP Z400

Thanks for responding

Perfection! Thank you…so much! Works perfect just changed the keyframes to 3. AWESOME!

x rotation is keyframed starting at 180 over 30 frames it goes to 0 with the following expression tied to it:

amp = .3;
freq = 1.0;
decay = 2.0;
n = 0;
if (numKeys > 0){
n = nearestKey(time).index;
if (key(n).time > time){
n–;
}}
if (n == 0){ t = 0;
}else{
t = time – key(n).time;
}
if (n > 0){
v = velocityAtTime(key(n).time – thisComp.frameDuration/10);
value + v*amp*Math.sin(freq*t*2*Math.PI)/Math.exp(decay*t);
}else{value}

Opacity has the following expression tied to it:

if (transform.xRotation > 90) {
0
} else {
value };

I sincerely thank you for taking the time to work with me on this.

thank you for responding i really appreciate your help.

I have layers revealing like a flap using one of your inertial bounce expressions. I keep them at 0 opacity until they reach 90 degrees at which time the become 100 opacity and the bounce(flap) and rest at 0 degrees based on a decay parameter. They go from off to on I was hoping they could ease from 0 opacity to 100 opacity over 5 frames or so…so they didn’t just pop on screen and continue to be 100 for the remaining duration of the layer in the timeline

Dan,
I am doing something similar, however what I have is white text over a horizontally split white and blue background(sampleImage BG). What I am trying to accomplish is if the portion of text is over white change the color of the text to blue and when the portion of text is over the blue background change it to white. I don’t know how to adapt this expression to do what I want it to do. I think it is close though.

I have used this script many times…well done Lloyd. I was hoping it could be modified to do the same thing for the layers 3d rotation by changing the words position to rotation but no good..any ideas?

[Barry Suydam]

I appreciate the response I will give it a try.

[Barry Suydam]

had to change the 100 at the end 3000 and it worked for me…thanks for the help

[Barry Suydam]

I thank you again.

The world of after effects expressions is lucky to have a person like you to be able to throw out a problem and have a solution so fast. I am not sure where you live or who you work for but thank you. I have a fair understanding of expressions because of your website and jjgifford.com, much appreciated. Is there another resource like those that I haven’t found. I just wish I could do better and more with applying expressions. I wish I worked with some more folks like you.
