Hi Dan!

I Have a similar question: i need to set the last character from my text-layer to a different color. unfortunately this is a letter that comes from the expression below

can you tell me how to set this “|” to a different color than the rest of the text?

Thanks in advance!

L = text.sourceText.length;
T = time*effect("Speed")("Slider") - effect("Start At")("Slider")*effect("Speed")("Slider");
F = Math.round(time % 1);
if(F == 1 | (T0) ){Fl = "|";}else{Fl=" ";}
substr(0,T) + Fl

Maybe it’s a little late, but here comes a trick to solve the remove-shading-problem (in case you’ll need a flat-designed moving sphere):

Make two versions of your worldmap-precomp. First one is transparent and contains only the “land”, second one can be filled with any color-solid. In your Main_Compositon. the first, transparent Precomp lays above the second “filled” Precomp. Now you can add the “cc-sphere”-effect.
Once you have added the “cc-sphere”-effect, you’ll find the parameter “Render”. Put this to “Outside” and add the “fill”-effect. Now you’re able to choose any color you want.

is it possible to move the object on the path without copying & pasting the keyframes? i need an object to following a path and want be able to modify the movement by changing the anchorpoints of my path (i didn’t want to copy&paste the keyframes again&again until i find the perfect movement). Especially when i need an particle-emitter from particle-layer_01 to follow the path and multiple copys of this layer with slightly variations of this path these option would be luxury to me.
any suggestions?
