Thanks, but that shows how to browse and use the template in Premiere.

Where am I looking for it in After Effects? The essentials panel seems to be where you build it, not reuse it

[Darren Lee]

ah ok thanks, that’s good know

[Darren Lee]

Great thanks for clarifying, much appreciated

[Darren Lee]

Very helpful, thanks

[Darren Lee]

Works brilliant, thanks!

[Darren Lee]

Thanks for this, what that might look like in the code? Something like this?:

randomIndex = Math.floor(randomSeed() * currentIndex);

Thanks for you reply, I should probably give more detail on what I’m trying to achieve

I’m using the script from here https://forums.creativecow.net/docs/forums/post.php?forumid=227&postid=37186&univpostid=37186&pview=t to shuffle an array of numbers.

I have the below on a text Source layer, but I want it to shuffle every time it hot a marker, and stay shuffled

I can achieve this with something like:

if (time == 1) {
shuffle(a);
“[“+a.toString()+”]”;
}

But then the array is reset immediately afterwards because it’s being set every frame

function shuffle(array) {
var currentIndex = array.length, temporaryValue, randomIndex;

// While there remain elements to shuffle...
while (0 !== currentIndex) {

// Pick a remaining element...
randomIndex = Math.floor(random() * currentIndex);
currentIndex -= 1;

// And swap it with the current element.
temporaryValue = array[currentIndex];
array[currentIndex] = array[randomIndex];
array[randomIndex] = temporaryValue;

}
return array;
}

var a = new Array(20, 30, 40);

shuffle(a);
"["+a.toString()+"]";

This is interesting, I don’t think I’d pay the $70 though. Shame they don’t allow importing in the trial.

Much appreciated.

Thanks Walter, I eventually installed a VirtualBox of Sierra to open it, which was not ideal

Thanks all. I modified monsieuroeuf’s version and came up with the below. It scales in and out nicely without keyframes, you’d just replace easeandwizz_inOutQuart with which ever Ease and Whizz function you prefer

fadeInTime=1.5;
scaleFromTo=50;

function easeandwizz_inOutQuart(t, b, c, d) {
if ((t/=d/2) < 1) return c/2*t*t*t*t + b;
return -c/2 * ((t-=2)*t*t*t - 2) + b;
}

initialScale = transform.scale[0];

if (time < (inPoint+outPoint)/2){
moveEnd = inPoint+fadeInTime;
diff = initialScale-scaleFromTo;
normalisedTime = linear(time, inPoint, inPoint + fadeInTime, 0, fadeInTime);
s = easeandwizz_inOutQuart(normalisedTime, scaleFromTo, diff, fadeInTime);
}else{
moveEnd = outPoint;
diff = scaleFromTo-initialScale;
normalisedTime = linear(time, outPoint-fadeInTime, outPoint, 0, fadeInTime);
s = easeandwizz_inOutQuart(normalisedTime, initialScale, diff, fadeInTime);
}
[s, s]
