Hi, is there a method to animate text word-by-word, based on sentence length?

So if the text length was 2 words, it would end very quickly, whereas 8 words would be 4 times as long to transition in

I can’t seem to find a way using text-animator

Thanks

Any ideas why the Text Animator Opacity is using characters instead of words, but only on the stroke?:

I managed this using this code. Then added a opacity animator. Thanks very much!

i=textIndex%4;
switch (i) {
	case 0:
		[-100,0];
		break;
	case 1:
		[0,-100];
		break;
	case 2:
		[100,0];
		break;
	default:
		[0,100];
}

thanks, but I was looking to use 2D layers but in 4 different directions, like this:

ok thanks, I can create a new animator for opacity

Would you know how I could alternate from top-right-bottom-left ?

Thanks for your reply Filip, here is my original image

Also here is where I got to with yours, only half the words fade in:

Is it possible to animate words using Text Animator, but alternating different positions?:

Here is a demo of what I mean

Anyone find a solution to this? Thanks

Yes I tried that too, and it gives mixed results, which makes me think it might be a cache issue. I use an external SSD for the media cache, maybe I’ll try a different one

thanks, I’m aware of that trick – hopefully you can see that I tried that in the visual? Might not be clear

So I know loopOut has always been temperamental, but I cannot get it to work at all. Does this seem right to anyone?:

Can certainly achieve that with a bit of fiddling. I was hoping to keep live text, but it’s an option

Thanks, but that is putting an outline on a solid font, I want ‘fill’ an outlined font

This is the font I’m referencing:

https://www.dafont.com/iron-maiden.font

Thanks but it need to work on a font with hollow insides. Or an outline font, not sure what the term is

Hi, I was wondering if there was a simple way of filling an outlined font (using effects rather than multiple layers) ?

For example, I’d like to fill this with white, but the closest I can get it is using the layer styles stroke. Maybe there was a way of preventing the stroke on the outside?:

Yes that’s what all the tutorials I’ve googled say, I was wondering if there was a simpler solution, but thanks for confirming!

Well they have to ‘birth’ don’t they? So you’d have to start from a few seconds in

Also the physics, ‘Twirl’ etc.. aren’t keyframes

Thanks for your reply

I’ve searched for a way of doing this, but it seems the only way is to duplicate the the layer and do a fade into the start of the current one

I am surprised there is not an easy way to do this in TP. In Cinema 4d noise you just check the ‘loop’ parameter

Since upgrading from 2020 to 2021, I am no longer able to import the .mogrt templates I’ve exported from After Effects

Any clues how to fix it this? Thanks

Hi, I’ve a created a news ticker for use as a Motion Graphic Template in premiere. The text moves using simple expression:

myx=position[0]+(time-inPoint)*-150;
myy=position[1];
[myx, myy];

It sits inside a comp with protected regions for the in animation and out animation

When testing, the speed of the text changes as the clip is extended or…

Hi, it’s the model in the library here:

As an experiment, I can join 2 simple cubes together using either the connect or Boole objects, but with more than 2 it doesn’t seem straight forward.

I also tried Magic Merge plugin: but that doesn’t seem to be able to handle it either

Hi,

I’m trying to create a clean Boolean through a model from the C4D default library.

So I’d like the slices to be capped, or joined.

I’m assuming to get this, I’d need to delete all inner polygons. I’ve had a google and it doesn’t seem straight forward.

What is the most efficeint way of doing this?

Thank you

Thanks

Thanks Trent, I’ve actually used that method before. The reason I have external scripts though is to use then in an editor..

Hi,

I am external expressions with evalFile, using absolute paths:

$.evalFile("/Users/Dave/Desktop/Project/Expression.js");

I want to pass on the files to another developer, so would prefer to use local paths:

$.evalFile("Expression.js");

is this possible? I’m on a mac?

Thanks

Yes, that is one way of doing it.
Seems incredible that you cannot do this though, I’m struggling to even figure out in expressions!

Thanks – Unfortunately that sets it’s globally and not the single layer instance.

Hello again, thought I’d come back to this old thread.

I’ve been using the same Mograph Template for both for Premiere and After Effects (via Master Properties) it works great

However, there doesn’t seem to be an option to select text formatting (Bold, Fontsize etc…)

Is it possible in After Effects? I’ve tried using expressions such as masterProper…

Thanks, yes I had better luck with the UV 2d mapping, but when there are a lot of clones you can notice a few of them in sync. I’m surprised there isn’t an easy way of achieving this considering how straight forward it is in After Effects

Sure here you go. 14168_test2.c4d.zip
If you switch on and off the shader, you’ll see what I mean

Actually that didn’t help at all. If anyone has a solution for this, let me know

I’m using a noise shader to randomly animate the XYZ coordinates of objects. I would normally use a vibrate effector, but I want the animation to loop.
I’m running into a problem when running all three, separately they work fine:


Does anyone know why? I’ve fiddled with the space to UV (2D) attribute which helps, but I don’t want them in sync
Thanks

Sure thing, thanks

on a sidenote: If I have 20,000 of these clones all clumped together, and I want to turn that clump into 1 polygon object (with no intersections) what’s the best way of doing that?
I’ve tried mograph cache bake.. and a connect object, but it doesn’t seem to work properly, some of the instance objects are missing

Of course, that’s a very simple solution. Thanks

Hi, is there a way of controlling how frequent an object is used in a clone?
For example, I would like the Torus to only appear twice… or 10% of the time, rather than them being evenly distrubuted:
