I meant that from 7.4 forward it disables so called “legacy” codecs. So in 7.4.1 you no longer have Sorensen as a codec option unless you change the pref.

Figured it out. QT 7.4 deactivates it. Ay Ay Ay!!
To reactivate it you go into QT prefs-> advanced-> Show Legacy Encoders -
Hey Dan,
Good Point. I guess I just assumed that you needed to do that, but you are right. Not needed. I updated the project. Thanks

Hey Ryan,
I still works if the text is on a path. I setup a quick project for you to take a look at. You can download the project here:

Set the duration of your pre-comp to an amount long enough to cover your loop. Then, when you nest the precomp, make sure the layer extends for as long as you want your loop to last.

This might be obvious, but I forgot to mention that you need to enable 3D rotation per character first

Yep, you’ll need to create a range for each character and add this expression to each one:
for X rotation:
C = thisComp.activeCamera;
V = C.toWorldVec([0,0,1]);
P = toWorld(anchorPoint);
lookAt(P, P + V)[0];for Y rotation:
C = thisComp.activeCamera;
V = C.toWorldVec([0,0,1]);
P = toWorld(anchorPoint);
lookAt(P, P + V)[1];for Z rotation:
C = thisComp.activeCamera;
V = C.toWorldVec([0,0,1]);
P = toWorld(anchorPoint);
lookAt(P, P + V)[2];-Lloyd

Tool Farm sells some expression training DVD’s by Harry Frank. I have not watched them, but Harry knows his stuff so I am sure they are good.

Reveal the position channel and Option-Click (Alt-click on PC) the stopwatch icon, the delete the text that is auto generated and replace it with this text:
frequency=20;
amplitude=30;
value + [0,Math.sin(time*frequency)*amplitude]You can adjust the frequency and amplitude values to suit your need but make sure to leave the semicolon after the numbers.

Actually NAB figured out a way to get the size of a text layer in expressions using sampleImage. He posted his expression over at ae nhacers. I don’t think the cow allows posting any ae nhancers urls so just replace [dot] with a .
