I would think you dont need the plug in…line graphs are easy enought with render > stroke, pie charts can be done with radial wipe as Steve said above, and I’ve done bar graphs with expressions before and it isnt too tough.

September 8, 2006 at 7:32 pm in reply to: Creating automatic camera moves with expressionsHey,
I just looked for the project and since its somthing I did for my old employer I don’t seem to have the finished project, however I do have a semi-done version of the project I brought home… I’ll fix it up and post it sometime around Monday…~Colin

September 8, 2006 at 2:09 am in reply to: Simple expression question – HELP PLEASE! 🙂Therees a couple different ways to get something like this done, heres the one that I would use:
//–begin
driver = thisComp.layer(“Rotating Layer”).transform.rotation;
maxRot = 720;//degrees
minRot = 0;//degrees
freq = 3;//frequency of wiggle
ampMin = 3;//min amplitude of wiggle
ampMax = 30;//max amplitude of wiggle
//–
amp = ease(Math.abs( driver ), minRot, maxRot, ampMin, ampMax);
wiggle(freq, amp)
//–endIn that expression, as rotation goes from 0 to 720 (or 0 to -720) the amplitude of the wiggle would go from 3 to 30.
OR, you could do it like this with simpiler (but less easily adjustable code)
//–
div = 90;
freq = 10;
rot = thisComp.layer(“Rotating Layer”).transform.rotation;
wiggle( freq, Math.abs(rot)/amp );
//–in the second one just adjust div until you get something asthetically pleasing.
Enjoy.

I’ve never tried this but I think you can right click on it in the project window and click “reload footage.” I’m not sure though and don’t have AE here to check.

September 7, 2006 at 7:47 pm in reply to: Creating automatic camera moves with expressionsSo what you are saying is that you want to be able to set up a project where you can replace the footage, move it around in 3d space, and the camera automatically moves through 3d space looking at each layer? I made a project a couple months back where I had a 3d camera set up that would automatically move around the comp at a constant speed and look at each layer in order from top to bottom. The project is AE 7 but the expressions would work in 5.5 if you changed some of the vector math stuff to the old syntax. If you want me to try to dig up the project post a message.

Before you start, you might want to look at Jeff Amasol’s site…www.redefinery.com. He has a bunch of great scripts inculding a pallete that will run any of your scripts in a specified folder.
