Hello forum,

I have 2 3D layers.
LayerA orientation is 0,0,0 and and have Linear Wipe on it.
LayerB orientation is adjusted so will interacted with layerA.

How can I use Linear Wipe percentage and wipe angle to match where the intersection line using expression?

Thank you 🙂

Hello forum,

How can I make a master slider to control 3 linear()?

For example, I have 3 Radial wipe effect and set the completion using linear(time,0,1,0,100) each on same layer. <font face=”inherit”>How to link those linear() to Slider Control 0 to 100 all wipe starts in </font>sequence (<font face=”inherit” style=”font-family: inherit; font-size:…

Hi forum,

Shape layer structure always confusing me to locate propertyGroup and indexing

I have Fill effects on shape layer and I want to refer the first shape group stroke color via expression, how to do that?

Thanks!

Here is the aep.

How can I offset Vegas Rotation to draw left bottom side?

Hi forum,

I have a 1:1 square size mask and effect Vegas to draw a line.

Im using Vegas length = 0.5 to make it half of Mask size (attachment 1)

0.5 will draw perfect half of Mask, until Mask size are not same value. (attachment 2)

How can I use Vegas Rotation to offset it half again?

Im use 1920*1080 comp size.

Thanks

found the solution

function rot(cx, cy, x, y, angle) {
    var radians = (Math.PI / 180) * angle;
        cos = Math.cos(radians);
        sin = Math.sin(radians);
        nx = (cos * (x - cx)) + (sin * (y - cy)) + cx;
        ny = (cos * (y - cy)) - (sin * (x - cx)) + cy;
    return [nx, ny];
}
myShape = mask("Mask 1").maskPath
tgn =…

Thank you, I actually ask a wrong question, and I found solutions on this line zoom = (thisComp.width/w) * distance;

😅

Hi forum,

I have a camera parented to 3d null as camera position driver to animate. Usually I use null zPosition to zoom layer and manually to fit the layer into camera view.

What is the formula to calculate camera Zoom to zoom layer fit in the comp view without using zPosition?

Thx!!

Ah yes, thank you.

I use it like this, to maintain anchorPoint [0,0]

cw = thisComp.width /2;
ch = thisComp.height /2;
t= sourceRectAtTime().top;
h= sourceRectAtTime().height;
[cw,ch]-[0,t+h/2]

Hi forum,

How can I center text layer to middle of comp?

I found many results use anchorPoint and position sourceRectAtTime.width/2, sourceRectAtTime.height/2, but in this case, i want it remain anchorPoint original at [0,0]

is there any tricks to center layer using layer left, top, width, height?

Thank you

got it.. c = returns 3 dimensions only.

var fc=thisComp.layer("master").text.sourceText;
var c = fc.style.fillColor;
[c[0],c[1],c[2],1]

Hi forum,

I have color control and i apply this expression to get font color, but it doesn’t worked. What did i missed, do i need to convert to hex?

Thanks

var fc = thisComp.layer("master").text.sourceText; 
fc.style.fillColor;

what posterizeTime(0); line for? Does it makes AE run calculate faster?

Love to look at this solution. Is there any change i get this file? cant access it anymore.. 🙁

Thank you! it worked 🙂

Hi forum,

i tried this code to loop each layer to find specific effect name, and i got effects() out of range, is there something did i missed?

for (i = 1; i <= thisComp.numLayers; i++){
	var curFX = thisComp.layer(i).effect(1);
	if(curFX.name == "somefx"){
		thisComp.layer(i).index
		break
	}
}

ah okay.. thanks for your explanation. Might another way around.

Thanks for your hacks Trent Armstrong, it worked, but I’m looking 1 layer solutions, I spent a few hours on this with no luck. 😖

this s=((p[1]/2-(hei/2))/height)*100; drive me crazy.

I found other example in forum and play with it, it worked if shape layer is center of comp. Please take a look attachment. This comp conversion makes me really lost. Any help?

Hello forum,

I have a shape layer and linear wipe with any % completion. How can i make it stick wherever i move the shape layer? For example i set at 50% completion and move shape layer somewhere, it still wipe half of my shape layer.

Using a solid layer should be no issue of this.

Thx forum

I think i got it. (textTotal-1)-Math.abs((textTotal-1)/2 – (textIndex-1))

Hi, I found this delay expression on forum, it returns a low value from center of text index, but how can I invert this to make it center value highest?

myDelay = Math.abs((textTotal-1)/2 – (textIndex-1));

Thank you!

Thank you !!! 😀

Hi,

I have 3 layers that have a linear expression on rotation and im create a slider A 0 to 100 as completion percent.

A = effect("Completion")("Slider");
index = 0 // layer 1
totalLayer = 3
offset = 1.5*index*thisComp.frameDuration;
linear(A,(100/totalLayer)*index,(100/totalLayer)*(index+1),0,90);

index = 1 // layer 2
totalLayer = 3
offset =…

Ah yes, im too focus on that, and I forgot about burger effect. This can be achieved using offset before mosaic and after mosaic with – differences offset.

Thanks Filip! 😀

Hi,

Im using Mosaic effects and how can i get random of the pattern without moving the layer position? any expression that can solve this? Is this effect related with layer/world space transform?

Thank you

Wow. It worked. Unique solution, I never thought solving this way.

Thank you!!😀

Hi forum,

I have a controller with 2 hold key frames given value 0 and 100

and I link it to opacity properties with delay.

Controller = effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”);

delay = 0.5;

linear(controller.valueAtTime(time-delay),100,0)

How can I opacity 0 before delay started? I attached aep file for example target

Thank you, Filip! I never thought to use this function before. 🙂

Wow, thank you for your detailed explanation,

I tried 1st calculation and turn out, it gives 57.7% for X scale and I use it for Y as well because it uses the same values 100. And the triangle doesn’t fit to the rectangle. Where I did wrong in this calculation?

I found 2nd method is easier to understand and it worked.

Thanks for the helps! 🙂

Hi forum,

How to calculate triangle scale to fit rectangle width & height size?

I attached sample image file (left) is default value of triangle, (Right) is the scale i wanted to fit the box, anyone can help this?
