Thank you, Dan! I did notice the first one could be simplified to what you have now. Just didn’t know what

if (time < 0)

does.

Thanks for the explanation and help!

Hi Dan, thank you so much! This works 🙂
Can you explain a little bit more about what each expression does? (except for the hexToRgb, this one I understood what it does)

TIA! 🙂

I have some dynamic elements I’m trying to get to work. I would like to change the font color of a word in a sentence that is between brackets. Also, the word between brackets should be the only one that changes color by a hex code. The hex code is provided by the user. So the text and text color would all be dynamic.

e.g input text is: Hello…

Thank you I will try this out!

So I’m having trouble figuring out this expression. I have to calculate someone’s age from a string that is the birth date(e.g 12/22/1989) based on the current date.

On one text layer, the birthdate string will be inserted and on the other layer, the age should be outputted.

So what I have now is this:

var birthDateString = thisComp.layer("Birth…

Hi, so I’d like to make one text layer outputting a sentence with two different font style/weight, e.g “I would like this word to be bold“.

Thanks for your reply! This seems to indeed work.

If I would use a separator, how should I do this? The amounts are supposed to be the amount of money.

Hi all, I’m working on an AE project where there’s basic math happening, but the math answer is not exactly showing what I want.

I have 2 var where the value will be inputted and then I have my end result var and I would want the end result to show a dot/comma and the rest after that. e.g 650.000 – 490.000 = 160.000, but at the moment it just shows…

Hi guys,
I’m trying to figure out how to place two text layers next to each other using expressions in AE.
I want to place them next to each other and have them stay next to each other, but if the text in front of the second text changes, the second text should adjust itself, staying next to the front text.

For example: Text Layer 1 displays:… Read more
