Thank you Dan!

I do like the quiet confidence in your posts. I know when I’ve found a post with your name it will work!

Thank you Dan, spot on.

Is there a line I can add to turn the slider into seconds, so on the slider; 1 = second, 60 represents a minute etc..

Hello,

I have a sequence with 7 precomps (all the animation happens within each preocomp), can you link each of these precomps to a slider so that the editor can delay the start of each precomp to time it with a voice over in premiere?

My comp is 25fps, so if they move the slider to ’50’ it would push back the precomp 20 seconds, or 450 for 3…

I actually freaking did it, it’s a Christmas miracle..

p = thisComp.layer(index-1).transform.opacity; 
d = thisComp.layer(index-3).transform.opacity; 
if (p==0 && d==100){
z=thisComp.layer(index-1).transform.position[1];
[value[0], z];
}
else if (p==0 && d==0){
z=thisComp.layer(index-3).transform.position[1];
[value[0], z];
}
else {
	value;
}

Thank you.

I’ve been working for hours to try and simplify the setup, I’m hoping this is an easier/more stable solution….

The user is now presented with a dropdown menu with an option of list consisting of 1, 2, or 3 text layers. The layer below those text layers needs to move up or down on the Y axis depending on how many text layers the user has…

Thank you for the reply Filip. I appreciate your time.

For the life of me I can’t get this to work.

I currently have a “Null 1” with 9 checkboxes to activate/deactivate each layer.

As a test, I pasted the opacity expression (in the text layer opacity), but get the error “couldn’t turn result into a numeric value”.

I also pasted the position…

Hello,

I’m creating a list to be used in a mogrt for a client (attached screenshot).

I have 9 seperate text layers, left justified, stacked vertically.

The first text layer sets the position, as well as two keyframes on the xposition that animate layer on (slide on from off screen).

The remaining text layers reference this first layer and each is 1…

Thank you Kevin,

I was just typing up a reply with a solution – I reached out to Tim at Motion Developer (link above) and he came back with this code which nails it. Hopefully someone will find this amazing too!

const sourceRect = thisLayer.sourceRectAtTime(0, false);
let { width, height, top, left } = sourceRect;
const { fontSize, leading,…

Hi!

Can this expression be modified to ignore text descender?

var b = sourceRectAtTime(time,true);
b.left *= scale[0]/100;
b.top *= scale[1]/100;
b.width *= scale[0]/100;
b.height *= scale[1]/100;
[b.left + b.width/2 , b.top + b.height]

I’m using it in a lower third which is made up of left-justified text, centred, in a shape layer. This shape layer is a…

Thank you – didn’t know these existed.

I’ve only got one, but it is on animated text layer. I’ve already started rebuilding! Thanks.

Hello.

I’m creating a template where the user can enter their own text. This text is left justified, but centred on screen using an ‘Align to’ behaviour.

This text animates on line by line using 3 text behaviours (opacity, rotation and position)

When turning on ‘Align to’ sometimes it’s quick and responsive, other times I just get the spinning…
