Hey Chris,

Thanks for the idea.

<font face=”inherit”>I created on Illustrator a layer with the ellipse grid complete and other three layers with some </font>ellipses<font face=”inherit”> subtracted (to create the transition between the complete to the incomplete grid). </font>

<font face=”inherit”>After that, I imported the AI file as a comp into AE, added on top of it a shape layer with the same ellipse grid (constructed using the repeat), masked it using the “set matte” effect and then, </font>finally<font face=”inherit”>, inside of the AI comp, I created the transitions with layer opacity. </font>

The strongest point of this approach is the fact you end up handling just a couple of layers (instead of my first approach with more than 1K layers; insane and stupid one, I know). The downside of it is creating the animation outside of AE.

Still, a much better option, thanks!

ahhhhh, I thought it was a plugin. Thks.

Hi Walter,

I have just found this other plugin, Calvary, which seems also interesting.

My best,

you are correct, it might do not solve it, but it is a good idea and I can use it on another project.

thanks anyway,

WOW!

It works! Thks!

Hey Douros,

It sees nice. But how can I control each transparence instance? It might work….

Hi Vandueren,

It seems a great idea! However, there is a function missing here, right?

Hi Walter Soyka,

Thanks for the quickly answer. It is true, the AE can’t support this amount of layers. I tried it myself. The Trapcode Form seems pretty fine. I will try it.

Thks,

I’m also experiencing the same issue, specially when previewing audio. I will follow this thread.

Hello Thomas,

I guess my question wasn’t clear. I could solve my problem using, yes, a liner method.

Thanks for the website you sent to me. I didn’t know it.

if (numKeys > 1){
t1 = key(1).time;
t2 = key(2).time;
v1 = 0;
v2 = effect("Posicao")("Slider"); <----this one allows me to set by a slider the initial position of my layer
linear(time,t1,t2,v1,v2);
}else value
