So i’m trying to animate some text on screen using text markers since I need to time it to some audio. I have some code that I found from here long ago (a Dan Ebbert’s original if I recall correctly) that achieves a similar effect to what I’m going for, but it’s for bouncing text instead of eased look. Can’t seem to reverse engineer it, despite…

I’ve got a dozens of text layers that pull text information from their comp names. I’m also trying to set it up such that half of the text is in one typeface and the other is in another typeface. Currently my expression is as follows

thisComp.name.split(“-“)[1] + “$” + random (1, 10).toFixed(2)

Is there a way to set it up such that the…

Is there a way to use multiple tracks of a screen and have it “attach” to a single planar surface? I know I can just paste the data of multiple track layers into one corner pin effect and manually adjust it every time I get to a frame with a new track, but is there a more elegant solution to this problem that would help mitigate any potential slippage?

I have around 90 layers with an opacity expression that, for a capital Z layer reads

“v = parseInt(thisComp.layer(“UNICODE”).text.sourceText);

if (v==90)100 else 0;”

but for lowercase a layer, reads

v = parseInt(thisComp.layer(“UNICODE”).text.sourceText);

if (v==115)100 else 0;

Etc. The “UNICODE” text layer updates to provide the unicode digits for…

So I’ve got an expression that’s pulling certain values from a layer (let’s call it Z). Currently, the layer Z gives the value 100 for 1 second, then 200 for 1 second, then 300 for 1 second. I’d like to have different layers (let’s say A, B, and C) appear after each of these values are reached, but I’d like for them to only be visible for a few…

Incredible. Would never have thought to do it like that. Thank you so much.

So I’ve got a lot of text that I’m trying to animate in by marker. I was wondering if there was a way to configure it such that each layer marker triggers an animation for a word, but that individual word animates in randomly per character.

For example, in the text layer “ROSES ARE RED”
Marker one would trigger animation for S then O, then R, then…
