Depending on your project, you might be able to use Echo instead. I’m using it for star trails in a pinch. Would rather have Time Blend, but this will work if you need a quick blend without opening another version of AE. You just have to get used to the Echo Operator terminology in place of the blend modes.

Excellent, thank you. I’m eager to understand this myself and this is a great starting point.
Again, thanks for your help.

How would you modify this to begin the decay as soon as the myNote value becomes 5? Not when it ceases to be 5?
Looks like I have some reading ahead of me to understand how this works. Do you mind giving me a quick breakdown of how this works to point me in the right direction? Mainly the “break” and “while” and “t-“.
Thank you, Dan, for all the help you give the AE community.

I stand corrected. Retaining layer size is absolutely what I need to do, and I was simply bypassing the comp it made for me out of habit (since the PSD file didn’t match the dimensions I wanted). Kind of embarrassing that the solution was so simple. Thank you Walter for helping me clear that up.

Hi Walter. Sorry I’m late getting back to this. Retaining Layer Sizes would do the trick except that they all import to the center of the composition, thus losing the overall picture. Is there a way to disperse the layers after importing them? Or maybe import the layers and then “Retain Layer Size” after the fact? Not sure what that would look like… maybe autocropping the layers somehow…

Hi Todd. Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately, this only seems to work on Shape layers. The layers I’m working with are imported from a single photoshop document, and all have the same dimensions (the transparency extends the same amount on each layer). If I move the anchor points off center, then use the transform command mentioned above, it centers the anchor points back to where they were before, in the center of the layer but not in the center of the triangles.

I’ve made it standard practice now to clear my cache and restart my computer before doing any important render that use lots of dynamic link. Other than that, no…

The latest CC update took care of it for me. Not sure what the version number is.

Problem solved. I had to unlink the speed from the duration to avoid simply speeding up the clip to be 1 second long. Silly mistake, but I don’t remember ever paying any mind to that when I worked in CS6.
Live and learn…
