Hey, the battleaxe “hacks” are quite nice, I tried em out by myself, but it only works for simple vectors, created a certain way. I wasnt really happy with the implementation workflow either.

Do you need the scaling ability of a vector within your UI? Otherwise I would try using binary code. You can convert pngs (i know, you said SVG) into binary…

Hey,
I am working on a little ScriptUI Panel “addon” for my colleagues.

As size matters ;-D … and I want to add quite a lot of features, I tried to create some kind of onMouse hover Panels to store bundled icons/buttons within to pick.

So far I was able to get it all set up and running. Only thing I am struggling with, is the closing/hiding event.…

you can set a trim path to the very end under all groups and might set it to trim parts individually instead of simultaneously… or maybe use something like foxreveal.

thank you dan! I already thought it had to be done by using one of the, for me still unfamiliar, “toComp…” variants. Thanks a lot! Its crazy to see how much effort you put into helping fools like me on the web. Great to have such an experienced and kind guy like you around!

Hey guys,
right now, I cant really get my head around this. I hope one of you can help me. I bet its actually nothing crazy to change 😛

I want to create a slider like this:

I get how the code works and how to apply it to any kind of property, like in this case, the layers opacity:

v = transform.position[0] // x  
d =…

as dan already mentioned:

if (thisComp.layer(thisComp.layer(“Null 1”).effect(“ALIGNMENT”)(“Menu”)==1)

–> if (thisComp.layer(“Null 1”)

and maybe not really a problem but i would suggest to add some spaces to the condition:
(“Menu”) == 1

thanks a lot for your answer. so it doesnt really matter wether to load all of the json data by each individual element on every comp or just first “collect” everything once by storing it in a globally accessed comp and link everything from there to each comp and the corresponding element?

the json itself is just containing around 20-30 lines.…

Hey guys, I am working on a data-driven template using text- and color-data based on a .json file on multiple compositions.

Now I am curious if there is a “proper” way to access the .json data. Is it maybe better to first load all of the required data into a global “setup” composition and link everything from there to the elements in multiple…

can you explain what you are looking for a bit more? resize the text adapting the content into the box? which content? do you just want to scale the box while having the text keep adapting to the size?

it is possible to an extent. its a bit tricky to actually change the paragraph text box but you can surely change its size by expressions.

took me about 20 seconds to find a solution on google. “after effects script add fill color animator”

what kind of error do you get? and what does ‘take the value of the last keyframe and continues’ mean? continues to take the value of the last keyframe? thats what usually happens if its tge last keyframe 😛

I think thats what you are basically looking for:

hey, one easy thing to do that i use to use a lot of times, is to remap a simple kf animation to in and outpoint.

something like this:

valueAtTime(key(1).time+time-inPoint) else if(effect("Checkbox Control")("Checkbox") > 0){ valueAtTime(key(1).time+outPoint-time)} else value 

here a little demo to show what I actually mean…
