Got it – thanks Doug!

I am trying to use Magic Bullet Looks with OCIO. However, when I load MBL and change my color engine to OCIO, Looks returns an error.

I normally set my Working Space and Color Space to None, so that I can use the OCIO effects to drive color management.

Any thoughts or things I should try?

Thank you.

I have a project with dozens of shots, each shot having multiple tracks. Right now, Mocha requires manually creating Nulls, selecting every track, and then exporting each Track to its respective Null. It’s a tedious process.

Is there a method or tool within Mocha, or 3rd party plugin, that allows for a 1-click button export from Mocha to AE, that…

Yoan, this worked perfectly. The article you provided was fascinating, it really is a deceptively complicated problem! Thanks for the quick help.

Hello,

I am trying to control a vertical drift on a layers Y-position. I want it to drift by 100 pixels every second via expression, which a simple time*100 would achieve. Further, I would like to slow this drift down to a complete stop in place, and then have the drift pick up again by keyframing a Slider controller.

However, when I keyframe the…

I am working in AE 25.1.0 on PC

I have a scene set up in Advanced 3D, using a mix of .obj and .glb files, alongside regular 2D and 2.5D layers. My camera starts wide before zooming in close.

My issue is that when the camera gets very close to these layers, they start to clip against the camera. I have not had this issue with Classic 3D but can’t use…

Dan – you are the GOAT. Thank you

Hey there,

I have 2 layers. I am trying to use the inPoint / outPoint of Layer 1 to drive the Opacity of Layer 2. No fades, just switching between 100 and 0.

When layer 1 starts, Layer 2 opacity = 100.

When layer 1 ends, Layer 2 opacity = 0.

I’m not entirely sure how to write this – I’ve been messing with valueAtTime but it’s not giving me the…

Dan – worked like an absolute charm. I’m working in a massive project right now and this is a lifesaver. Thank you!!!

So I’m writing a script, my goal being to have a window where I can press the “Shy Button” on every comp throughout the entire project.

As of right now, I’ve written the script to work inside of any active composition, both to Shy and Reveal. However, I’m having trouble writing it so that it runs through every single composition in the AEP and…

Andrei – don’t know how to thank you enough. This worked like a charm! Really and truly appreciate your help – learned a lot going through this!

Hi there,

I’m building a toolkit with some simple type. I’d like to have the TOP LINE and the BOTTOM LINE maintain a distance of exactly 75 pixels from the HERO TYPE layer. So that, when retyping the HERO type, if it is one, two, three or four lines tall then the TOP / BOTTOM will always maintain the same distance.

However, I’m having trouble…
