My next approach would be to split the panorama into those 4 comps and use optics compensation to remove the distortion. You will need a different amount of the effect on the two differently-sized comps to make the image edges match. I doubt that they will match perfectly, since optics compensation works on both axis, but you have corners in the room anyways.

If you want something that appears more accurate — i.e. (un)distorts only in one axis direction — I believe you’ll have to use a custom distortion mesh.

Ok, I see. That should work, as long as the original color of the type is black. You are adding a percentage of white to each of the RGB channels to the existing color. If the original color is something else, the target color gets added to the original color, resulting in something else.

If you want to use colored lettering to start with, you’ll need two color animators with expression selector. The first color expression would add 100% black to any letters that you want to subsequently color. The second would be the same you currently have.

If you need to do this a lot, maybe something like this, then?

How do you have this set up and what property are you applying this expression to?

If the four walls you’re projecting onto are close to equal size, you can change the projection from equilateral (as in your original) to cubic projection (6 faces of a cube) in Skybox, omit the top and bottom (“floor” and “ceiling”), then split the four “walls” of the cube into four separate projections.

Precomp the layers together and apply wigglerama to the precomp.

You can place the original photo into the illustrator file on a layer below the illustration and set the “fade placed images to 50%” checkbox on. Then you can use that as a reference to match the placement exactly. There are some clear differences here. For example you have 34 “bumps” on the edge while the original has 28 of them.

Like this should work:

fadeTime = .3;

effectOn = effect("Checkbox Control")("Checkbox");

txt = text.sourceText;

if (effectOn==true){
if (txt.numKeys > 0){
t = txt.nearestKey(time).time;
if (time < t)
ease(time,t-fadeTime,t,100,0)
else
ease(time,t,t+fadeTime,0,100);
}else
value}else
value

Sounds like you need to copy the values, not the keyframes. So that’s three copy-paste actions, X, Y and Z individually.
