Nevermind, I know why.

Thanks Brian, it’s only a few polygons, I guess I can rotate them manually.
I indeed deleted the original extruded parts and rebuilt the polygons, I guess that’s when it went all wonky.

Thanks a lot for your help.

It is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a lot Mike!

Hey Michael,

I rendered the file using a shape layer instead of the .ai file and it came out fine.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Scale 212.8%, however is parented, if I unparent it the actual size is 56271%
AE CC 2017.2
Mac OS 10.10, 32gb RAM, 2gb VRAM.
I’ll tell you about the converted shape layer in a couple hours, the render takes roughly one hour and 20 minutes to complete, however is a great suggestion, hadn’t thought of it before.

Thanks!

Not at all. Happy to help.

The answers to your questions:

1. You add it to the typewriter effect.
2. The offset parameter.
3. It’s one expression, the first line is a variable, which you can modify. The second line is the actual expression, which you can actually use for any parameter that animates that way, it’s an incredibly versatile expression, which is worth mentioning I didn’t write myself.

Hope this helps.

Can’t I tried it already. I get the same weird cropping with the layer soloed.

[David Cabestany]

Christopher, may I suggest you use an expression instead of keyframes?
It’s way faster to modify.

fadeDur = 1.5;
ease(time,inPoint,inPoint+fadeDur,0,100)

fadeDur is the time you want the effect to animate, the default with keyframes is two seconds, on the expression is a second and a half.

The last value (100) is how much you want the range selector offset to go in your text object, i.e. if you only want half of the sentence, set it to 50, etc.

Best,
D.

Yes, it says the following:

app.project.saveWithDialog();

I also tried this other script by Sebastien Perier called Save Comp As Project 2 but the error I got was

bad tracked memory ID ( 23 :: 35 )

almost the same as the other script, which leads me to believe that there is something broken in the latest release of Ae.

Best,
David.

Hey Steve,

Thanks but that’s not what I’m looking for, I need more like a combination of a bounce effect with a stop in between steps, if that makes sense.

Thanks,
D.
