I’m having the same issue. It seems that I can’t work at all with the updated version. Every time I press the spacebar, it just crashes. Even when I open a new project with just a single shape layer without animations, it keeps crashing.. I haven’t got the previous version of AE anymore.

Hey Kevin,

Thanks for your information! I was wondering if it was possible to set the opacity of the layers behind could set to 50% opacity (like a stack of solids). The layer what’s on the zero point always is 100%, when it crosses that point towards the camera, it goes to 0%.
Again, thanks for for help!

Thanks guys for giving help!
I also posted this question in the expressions forum. There I got a nice solution with a expression from Dan Ebberts. I applied this to a color overlay layer style. And it works fine!

colors = [[141,203,235,255]/255,
[187,223,243,255]/255,
[164,213,239,255]/255,
[205,219,143,255]/255];
easeTime = .2;
segDur = 2;

curSeg = Math.floor(time/segDur);
t = time%segDur;
seedRandom(curSeg,true);
idx1 = Math.floor(random(colors.length));
seedRandom(curSeg-1,true);
idx0 = Math.floor(random(colors.length));
ease(t,0,.2,colors[idx0],colors[idx1])

I’ll have to try the solution you mentioned. But for now I’ll use the expression. Deadlines….
Thanks a lot people!

Thanks Dan!

This works very good. I applied it to a color overlay. But maybe for understanding the expression better: How do I get the color values? Are the last parameters (255) based on the transparancy?

Again, Thanks a lot!
