Could I use clamp() ? I tried but it not worked.

Thanks again Dan !

Hi !

I am still working on the project and I’m having issues with the code.

As you said, the fact that we use random() don’t always generate a different color than the previous one. And it is the case on my project, I tried to “cheat” by adding keyframes and it worked BUT for the rest of my project I have to do it without “cheating” otherwise…

Again, thank you Filip !

Here’s my code !

c = thisComp.layer("Shape layer 1").content("Rectangle 1").content("Fill 1").color;

yellow = [0.9961, 0.8941, 0.251, 1];
purple = [0.498, 0.2902, 0.8, 1];
//colors

if (length(c, yellow)<0.001){
    purple
}else{
    yellow
}

EDIT :

While we are on the color subject, I wondering how can I compare colors to each others.

For exemple I tried this code :

EDIT :

c = thisComp.layer("Shape layer 1").content("Rectangle 1").content("Fill 1").color;

purple = [0.498, 0.2902, 0.8, 1];
yellow = [0.9961, 0.8941, 0.251, 1];

if (c[0] == 0.489 && c[1] == 0.2902 && c[2] == 0.8 && c[3] == 1){

It is pure magic !

This blow my mind ! It work as I wanted !

Thanks you Filip and Tomas for your help ! 🤓

Hi Tomas,

To be more specific, I have 5 colors that I want to be random on music beat.

The problem is that the random() expression do it every frame, and the music will be changed in the project, that is is why I thoughts about keyframes, wich I could easily edit on the beat.

Hi ! 👋

I wonder if it is possible to keyframe random values ? And without limits ?

I am searching for “generate” a random expression that triggered itselft each keyframed that I could create or edit.

Is it possible ?

🤔

Thanks Filip ! After few tweaks I found this code and it worked fine !

b = thisComp.layer("Null 1").effect("Angle Control")("Angle");
a=degreesToRadians(b);
pos = [Math.cos(a) , Math.sin(a)];

Hi Filip,

Yes the image is missing…

<div>I think it is the kind of code I am looking for, maybe the image will help you.</div>

Hi ! 👋

I am currently working on a animation, and I looking for an expression to link my position to an angle controller.

By editing the angle controller I want the position to “track the angle”, as You can see on the image, with the black text equal to the angle of the controller :

I tried some code à found here, but none of them worked :/

I don’t…

Hi, thank you, Andrei and Dan for your replies.

I tried what you sent, and the second expression of Andrei work fine !

Hi !

I sent you a picture of the work I try to achieve.

As you can see on the picture, by changing the drop menu value, I want to automatically change the value of the 2nd position keyframe but keep the animation and the value of the 1st position value.

And the expression I wrote don’t work 😕

Hi !

I am wondering if there is a way to modify the values of position keyframe with my expression.

I have a layer with a drop menu effect and a position expression :

dropMenu = effect("Dropdown Menu Control")("Menu");

if (dropMenu ==1) {
    mPosition= 300;
}else if (dropMenu== 2) {
    mPosition= 500
};

[value[0], mPosition]

To be precise, I want to…

Thanks for your reply.

I pasted the expression, and try few things but nothing worked.

my layer “team.points_1” shows nothing.

Also I’m starting to learn Ae expression so I don’t understand “parseInt” and “eval”… 😅

Thanks Dan,

I’ll be more specific about my project.

I’m working on a ranking system, so I wonder if it’s possible to write each points of each teams in a text source with an array, and pick the array value we want to display to text layer one by one ?

Hi,

I don’t know if it’s possible, but I want to display selected array properties in multiples text source.

The idea is to paste mutiples numbers in an array, for exemple : [75, 60, 40]

And in 3 text layers, select which one will be displayed.

I could do it manually but, I need to do it for 20 text layers, so I wonder if it can be automatic.

Thanks

Hi ! I’m lookin for a way to wiggle the scale properties between those values :

[100,100] / [-100,100] / [100,-100] / [-100,-100]

I tried some expressions, but none of them worked…

Hi ! Have you tried to create a “Radio Wave” kind of effect and apply a “Displacement map” with this layer as a source on your video ?

<div>Thanks for your reply.</div><div>

I tried the expression but it didn’t work. But I solved it !

I have 3 layers, 1 for the text, 1 for the rectangle and a last one for the triangle.

Both size et position of the rectangle (path not layer) are linked to the text.

What I did is type this in the position of the triangle (path not layer) and it worked…

Hi, I surely do it wrong but I’m editing a text message like in social networks.

I want it automatic so I already linked a text box (red shape) to my text layer but I want add a triangle to it (white shape).

The idea is to lock the triangle to the bottom of the rectangle, but if I update my text the triangle is shifting.
