Hi Jan. I wanted to thank you for posting this expression which is exactly what I was after.

To make it work the other way (right to left), I’ve simply replaced the two “left” instances from your code with “width” (on top of changing the Wipe Angle property from -90 to +90).

Thank you Andy!

I still have never used Xpresso so that’ll be a first, but with your step-by-step guide hopefully I’ll manage 🙂

Have a great day.

Hi,

I would like to change the strength of dozens of Random effectors at the same time (from 100% to 0%). Of course I could do it on one and copy-paste the keyframes to all the others, but I was wondering if there is a way to link all values to one specific ‘parent’ value, much like the ‘Slider’ effects in AE where the value can be linked to other…

That makes sense to me. Thank you for taking the time to reply!

Hi,

After having extruded a shape, is there a way to “project” something onto the extrusion?

By default the extrusion will use the same colour as the shape. Instead, I would like to use it to show a video — think of it as a wall onto which a film is projected.

I suppose this would be similar to the famous Marvel intro (starts at 17 seconds h…

Wow, yes indeed! Many thanks Max, this seems to be what I’ve been after for years.

Here’s the link for anyone curious:

Hi,

Often, I’m dealing with compositions with 100+ layers — say, a mosaic of small photos*.

Each layer will have the same keyframe animation, but instead of starting them all at the same time, I’m looking for a way to trigger the animations based on the position of each layer on the main composition.

For instance, I want each photo to scale up by 1…

That’s… Exactly what I’m after.

Dan, thank you so much for your time and effort — it’s much appreciated.

Have a great day.

Hi,

I have a few specific “states” needed in my composition, and I’m using a Slider control on a Null to toggle those states.

A slider value of “1” toggles the opacity of layers A, B and C to 100, the others to 0.
A slider value of “2” toggles the opacity of layers D, E and F to 100, the others to 0.
A slider value of “3” toggles the opacity of layers…

John this is perfect, that does the trick. Thank you very much for your time and effort. Have a great day.

Thank you for your response.

Yep they are all the same length, size etc.

Ideally I’d like a way to somehow just input “47” somewhere and the precomp called “47” will automatically be the one used in the main composition… Hmm…

Hi,

I’m using my main composition as a template to generate several videos. The only thing that changes in each export is one precomp in that main composition.

Right now, my process is:
– Open main comp
– Add in precomp “2” next to precomp “1”
– Copy and paste the attributes/effects/keyframes from “1” to “2”
– Remove precomp “1”
– Export main comp
-…
