Hi! I would love to have a look at this solution, but the file doesn’t seem to exist anymore on the CC servers. Any chance you can share it again somehow? It would be deeply appreciated!

I thought I tried that but apparently not properly if so.. All good now, and I could even remove row counting etc since sourcerect is now read before animation as intended. Thanks a ton Andrei!!

Hello!

I’m trying to have a text field automatically center both horizontally and vertically while using an Animator with some code from Flow driving the animation. It’s mostly working as needed, until I change the Y offset in the animator above 52, then the whole text field make a large jump vertically at two different times during playback.

I…

Aha, that must’ve been it, I left the print statements in the functions in.. Had no clue they could mess with functionality, I assumed since they worked in the Toolkit debug that they would be ok, but lesson learned, without them everything works perfectly. Thank you so so much Dan, you’re a true lifesaver! Do you have a donation Paypal or such?…

I’m now getting an error message for the code below on row 77, could that be the issue?

var theComp = app.project.activeItem;

Thank you Dan for super fast help as always!

Unfortunately this didn’t solve the issue, it’s behaves just like before. When clicked the button remain blue as if it’s stuck in a clicked state, could that be an indicator of what’s going on perhaps?

And the script file, couldn’t add in edit for some reason…

Hi all!

I’m trying to hack together a simple Extendscript(hope it’s ok to post here still) panel with buttons to be able to more quickly run scripts. I have two scripts that I found around forums, both from Mr Dan Ebberts if I remember correctly. The first creates markers from selected layers inpoints to the comp and the second copies a layers…

Thanks a ton Jacob! That works perfectly 😃

Thanks everyone for this! It works great for position, but I need to use it in the offset on a text animator, which only has one dimension, so I’ve been trying for an hour now to make it work but without any success. It’s throwing an ‘couldn’t turn result into numeric value’ on line 1 if that is any indication of what’s actually the problem..?

Is…

Hi!

I have a setup with two text boxes, where one of them mimics all settings and changes that are made to the other one. The only thing left that I can’t figure out is how to have the second layer follow if the first ones box is resized? To clarify, the scale property is not what I need, but the actual dimensions of the box that is visible when…

Unfortunately that adds a bunch of manual work and will most likely not be as exact as it need to be, and this is a process I will be doing frequently, so I would love to find a solution using the exported 3d data. Thanks though Chris!

Anyone have any other ideas? The all knowing Mr Ebberts perhaps? 🙂

Thank you Chris for taking the time! Unfortunately I need to be able to follow the null in a 2D space, so your solution will not work. I should mention that the actual effect I’m using is a radial glow whose center point needs to follow an object, but I simplified the scene and used the built in circle effect since the glow is a paid plugin.

Hi!

I’m trying to figure out how to have a 2D effect follow an animated 3D null exported from C4D using an expression picked up from the great tutorial linked below. It appears to work ok until I activate the animated camera I also imported. The effect coordinates seems to ignore the camera and therefore remains way off screen. I have also tried…

Works flawlessly, you’re a lifesaver Dan, thanks a ton!!

Hi!

I have a first text block sitting centered in frame and a second one being animated upwards from the bottom. When a checkbox is activated the first text should start following the second one upwards at exactly the same distance as it had when it got triggered, both texts now moving as one unit. I got almost everything working except that the…
