You can also use expression controllers for this. Precomp the comp that you want to turn on and off. Then create an empty layer and apply a checkbox controller. Write an if/else expression on the precomp for opacity. If checkbox is checked, opacity 100, if unchecked – opacity 0.

Something like this…

if(thisComp.layer(“Adjustment Layer…

I was going to suggest the same thing. Just use a slider expression controller and link the rotation of any layers you want to rotate to the value of the slider. This is pretty simple to do, even if you don’t know how to write expressions from scratch with javascript.

Here is another quick after effects tutorial on doing wire removal on a difficult shot when you don’t have a clean plate. We use built in effects. CC Simple Wire Removal and Content Aware Fill.

Yeah I would love to set something up. I’ll shoot you an email.

I would be interested in learning more about this opportunity!

Here is another After Effects Tutorial I made key tracking and keying a moving green screen shot. This was a difficult shot I was working on for my reel. Felt it justified spreading my techniques to anyone interested in watching.

Thanks Graham!

I can tutor you if interested in more focused learning

Here is a new tutorial I just made showing you how to combine Photoshops new AI Generative Fill with Adobe After Effects for things like object removals or Set Extensions.

Looks much cleaner

Delete the quotes around shape layer 1 and shape layer 1. Re type the quotes and then Shape Layer 1 inside the new quotes. Perhaps they are two opening quotes, or closing quotes instead of one of each.

Nevermind, I put it into AE and it doesn’t give any meaningful help.

Click on the orange or yellow triangle with the exclamation point to the left of the red arrow. It should give you more info. Can you screenshot that?

Remove .value

Can you screenshot the syntax error. It probably is because I didn’t put punctuation in the right place or something.

This for has a algorithmic efficiency of 2^n. In other words it completes two tasks each iteration (n standing for the total number of repeated iterations)Those two tasks are checking the current value of the next index, and then comparing it to the current max value. It then needs to repeat this process for the entire list of values. As you…

I’ll be happy to lend some help, but whatever is wrong with your colors, I have no idea where to start….as you didn’t upload a file for me or anyone else to see.

Hey Martin. Pseudo Effect Maker doesn’t require you to provide an AE FFX file to the end user, or require the use of Pseudo Effect maker plugin by the user in order to make use of the template. You take the time to build out the Pseudo Effect, and can export and save the FFX file, which can be installed in the AE Presets Install folder where After…

Unfortunately you can’t do this with expressions. It is something that would have to be developed as a plugin with a CEP Panel or an HTML panel. However if you want to tidy up your expression controls then head over to AE Scripts and check out PseudoEffect Maker for After Effects. Promise you won’t regret it.

I could probably lend a hand. I have started making free tutorials again and could offer you any help you need as it comes along. I have 18 years in AE

Try toggling the color bit depth in AE between 8, 16, and 32. Premiere might be using a different bit depth than your AE default. Let me know if that works.

Exactly. The type of compression only looks for parts of the image that stays the same from frame to frame and persists that data so it doesn’t get written multiple times frame after frame. Therefore the non moving stuff looks very clear and in focus because the pixel data isn’t changing. It’s for this reason that when parts of the footage do move…

I understood what you meant. What I was trying to say is the only reference you offered us was the YouTube upload. For that reason we have no way of determining what the differences are between between the export and the way that it looks after you’ve uploaded it to YouTube.

what exactly bothers you about the export? without seeing at least a screenshot of the comp window before export we cant go without assuming it looks the way you wanted it to.

Hey Mehdi,

I was in the middle of giving you a ton of suggestions on the CC Live Stream when my internet cut out and I had to start a new stream. Going live again tomorrow morning. I’ll be happy to reiterate those suggestions to you and see if we can get your problem fixed.

hope it helps

Pre-comp your logo and text by selecting them both, right clicking, and selecting pre-compose. Choose move all assets into new comp in the window that pops up and hit enter. This will make a pre-comp in your timeline that holds both on a single layer. Put your footage above that comp and then change the track matte drop down of your pre-comp to…

I have included a project file where I found an easier solution than I previously offered. What I did was write an expression on the Shape on Layer Two’s Fill Color Value.

ShapeOnLayer2 = (color from Layer 1 Shape + color from Layer 2 Shape + color from Layer 3 Shape)/3 //3 would be replaced with whatever amount of source colors you chose.

Hello Vipul Rajan,

You may be able to write an expression for the color of the Square on Grid 2.

Here is suggested Pseudocode as I don’t have the project file to reference or try and write the real code for.

var squareOneColorR = R Value of Square One’s Color

var squareOneColorG = G Value of Square One’s Color

var squareOneColorB = B Value of Square…

Hello there, I added a solid Composite Effect to the bottom layer and it allowed me to fill the inner text to whichever color I wanted. Does this solve your problem. AE Project Attached

I did some digging around in the Adobe After Effects Scripting Documentation and found supporting documentation for one of my offered suggestions. I have attached a screen shot for your reference. Hope this was the right solution to your issue. Let me know either way please.

I have never used MS VisualCode for this type of purpose. Perhaps you need to go into after effects and select project settings. There is an expressions tab in the window that opens. Change it from Javascript to Extendscript, or vise versa. You could also open preferences under the edit menu. Go to the Scripting/Expressions Tab and select the tab…

If you are only trying to replace the content of the iPhone screen, then a third-party plug-in called mocha Pro is your most direct solve for this type of effect. What is so great lately, is that most of these third-party software companies are not requiring you to purchase the software up front, or buy a year-long license. This allows you to sign…

I knowI know that you have already tried, and this will sound very level 1 support savvy. However, this very well could be an issue with the installation of Adobe Media encoder. As I’m sure you are very well aware, media encoder we’ll install alongside your installation of Adobe After Effects. Several times now, I have had similar as well as…

So I’m not entirely sure how I fixed this problem for myself, but I did have the exact same issue. What I had to do until the problem went away, was right click on the layer that I wanted to access the effects for on the effects panel. I then went to reveal, and then selected effects in the FX control panel. This then opened up the effects for the… Read more
