Hi Levi, sure it would be my pleasure. Would you like to schedule an online meeting over the next few days?

My email is hello@iamricci.com, contact number +35679310999

Thanks!

Hi Anees, that is indeed correct 🙂 If you are interested from your end, or know of someone who might be, please let me know and we will discuss accordingly.

Thanks for the heads up Graham. We’ve had some interesting response to my post, to the extent that we are now trying our utmost to see the way forward and avoid selling the platform, while also discussing the best way forward.

Just checked out the post and sent a reply, so we’ll see where that takes us.

Cheers.

Hi all,

Not sure if we’re even allowed to post about software that is for sale or not, but over the last year, me and a small team have developed an SaaS website, where users/clients log in, fill in a form with text, images, videos, etc., and this form pings After Effects that is set up on a cloud to render a pre-set template for them and then…

this tutorial might help.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uo5k4_vu5Vk

Thanks for this Dan, much appreciated 🙂

I’ll test it out and keep you posted.

Thanks for the reply.

I’ve attached a screenshot to better explain the set up.

The main comp is called RENDER, which has a number of slide precomps in it and one Audio layer precomp background music track in it.

For this project the slides do not overlap, however we might have a project where they do in the future so this is also something we are…

Hey Dan,

So we’ve kept on playing around with this and came up with the following:

posterizeTime;

audioOn = -22;

audioOff = -6;

fadeFrames = 10;

fadeTime = framesToTime(fadeFrames);

v = audioOff;

data = [

{

audioOn:

comp(“Slide 1 Image or Video”)

.layer(

“Scene 1: Video Audio – On/Off”

)

.effect(“On”)(“Checkbox”) ==…

I might have not explained myself well enough as I was too frazzled to understand what needed to be linked to what..

Not sure if I’ve overcomplicated things, but it seems to be working 🙂

Finally got it working.

Showed your expression to a colleague of mine and he came up with the following:

isAudioOn = (checkbox);
soundOn = -20;
soundOff = 0;
fadeFrames = 10;

fadeTime = framesToTime(fadeFrames);

if (!isAudioOn) {

value

} else {

v = soundOff

buffer = 0.5

startFade = layer.inPoint – buffer

endFade = layer.outPoint – buffer

if (time >= endFade) {

v…

Hey Dan,

Thanks for this!

I haven’t gotten it to work yet, but not sure if I’m doing something wrong or setting it up wrongly from my end..

I’ll continue experimenting with it and I’ll keep you posted.

Much appreciated 🙂

>Once the pre-comped voice over track ends…

How will the expression know this has happened?

Maybe something related to this?

layerDuration = outPoint – inPoint; but pointing to the voice over track if possible?…

Also, couldn’t the background expression just monitor the checkbox instead of the voice over audio level? It’s much easier to detect chang…

Hey Dan,

So I’ve set up a template where there is a pre-comped audio track, which is a placeholder for a voice over, which the client could upload externally.

This is in turn rigged to an on/off checkbox, which if turned on then the audio level of this pre-comped audio layer is set to -12, but if not then it is set to -50.

There is also a background…

Hey all,

I’ve got two audio layers, one is a background track and the other is a voice over track. The voice over track is not always used, so I’m trying to figure out an expression where if the voice over is used, the audio track would fade down to say -18db from 0db and then fade back up to 0db once the voice over track is over.

I’m trying to work…

Thank you for this Filip, it works!

Apologies for the double post earlier and much appreciated 🙂

Hey Filip,

I’ve been dabbling with this again recently and I was wondering, apart from the auto re-scaling of a .png with this method, could something similar also be applied to the position and anchor point of a layer to always ensure that the ‘content’ of the .png layer is automatically centred?

For example, if I have a .png that’s been re-sized…

Hey Filip,

I’ve recently come across this and it works great, so thanks first of all.

I wanted to ask whether there is anything that I could do to avoid it taking so long to render…

I’m relatively new to expressions, but from what I’ve understood is it taking so long due to it having to go through every layer on every frame?

Thanks

thank you Dan, it works! much appreciated 🙂

Hey guys,

I’m creating some parameters for a template to be automated, and I am a little stuck on this;

I have one text layer (the source text) where the commands Small, Medium or Large could be written.

This would in turn change the scale of another layer.

So far, we’ve come up with the following:

x={getsourcetext}
if (x == “Small”) [80,80]
else if (x…

This seems to be a decent solution:

Hey all,

I’ve come across a similar problem and was wondering whether you could explain the whole stroke width with expressions solution in a bit more detail please.

Thanks.
