You should be able to import and parse a text file in one of those formats with a script. It would probably work best if you already had a blank text layer all set up with your font, size, color, positioning and justification choices.

The script wouldn’t be trivial, but it shouldn’t be too tough either.

You have to round each of the pieces:

P = thisComp.layer(“other layer”).position;
Math.round(P[0]) + ” ” + Math.round(P[1]) + ” ” + Math.round(P[2])

Well, in its basic form it would look something like this:

P = thisComp.layer(“other layer”).position;
P[0] + ” ” + P[1] + ” ” + P[2]

but you might want to add rounding and/or other formatting.

Just click the position stopwatch to create a keyframe, then paste.

Try this one:

left = 0;
top = 0;
right = thisComp.width;
bottom = thisComp.height;

minSpeed = 200; //pixels per second
maxSpeed = 500;

minX = left + 20;
maxX = right – 20;
minY = top + 20;
maxY = bottom – 20;

minR = 5;
maxR = 85;

seedRandom(index,true);

// calc start position

pos = random([minX,minY],[maxX,maxY])
quadrent = Math.floor(random(4))*90;
angle = random(minR,maxR) + quadrent;
spd = random(minSpeed,maxSpeed);

// initialize time count;

t = 0;

while(t <= time){ rads = degreesToRadians(angle); xVel = spd*Math.cos(rads); yVel = spd*Math.sin(rads); // see if going up or down if (yVel < 0) yLim = top else yLim = bottom; // see if going right or left if (xVel < 0) xLim = left else xLim = right; timeX = (xLim - pos[0])/xVel; timeY = (yLim - pos[1])/yVel; if (timeX < timeY){ //hit left or right wall if (t + timeX >= time){
deltaT = time – t;
pos += [xVel,yVel]*deltaT;
break;
}else{
pos = [xLim,pos[1] + yVel*timeX];
angle = 180 – angle;
t += timeX;
}
}else{ //hit upper or lower wall
if (t + timeY >= time){
deltaT = time – t;
pos += [xVel,yVel]*deltaT;
break;
}else{
pos = [pos[0] + xVel*timeY,yLim];
angle = 360 – angle;
t += timeY;
}
}
}
pos

Something like this should work:

f = thisComp.frameDuration*10;
Math.min(linear(time,inPoint,inPoint+f,0,100),linear(time,outPoint-f,outPoint,100,0))
