Also, I noticed that the 4th point you reference is from targetPath1, but it should be for targetPath2.

I think you just need to change the way you’re accessing the points on the ellipse paths. From this:

targetPath1[0]

to this:

targetPath1.points()[0]

[Dan Ebberts]

I don’t think there’s a way to do that with expressions.

This should work:

segDur = 1;
holdDur = 1;
totalDur = segDur+holdDur;
minVal = 0;
maxVal = 140;
seed = Math.floor(time/(totalDur));
segStart = seed*(totalDur);
seedRandom(seed,true);
startVal = random(minVal,maxVal);
seedRandom(seed+1,true);
endVal = random(minVal,maxVal);
ease(time,segStart,segStart + segDur, startVal, endVal);

I haven’t tested it, but I think all you’d have to do is change this:

t = time – startDur;

to this:

t = time – (startDur + inPoint);

[Dan Ebberts]

It should, unless the number of letters changes after the first FOV keyframe.

You could try something like this:


if (numKeys > 0 && time >= key(1).time){
value
}else{
n = thisLayer.text.sourceText.length;
170 - Math.max((n-1),0)*5;
}

>Is there a way to specify All Strokes Over All Fills?

Not that I’m aware of.

Dan

[Dan Ebberts]

Under what condition would you want it to be zero?

Dan

[Dan Ebberts]

I don’t understand it, but it seems to work if you set the value twice:

textProp.setValue(textDocument);
textProp.setValue(textDocument);
