Use the loopOut/loopOutDuration Expression that you can find in the Expression language menu. There should be info on how to handle this Expression in the Help File.
Hope that helps

ok, I’m not sure I exactly grasped how it’s supposed to look like with the looping auround the words and stuff. But as you say you can’t get the Motion of it right I thought it could help to use two instances of that ball in question and have them follow paths. Use one path for looping, that would be an ellipse then (draw a path/Shape with the mask tool, set keyframes if necessary and copy and paste the maskshape property to the position property of your ball) and your bouncing ball and try to combine them by changing their opacity in turns when they overlap.
Hope that helps and good luck,

i’d try to open it with the english version of AE7 then (go to wherever you have AE installed – open folder languages – open ‘Adobe After Effects E’)
Hope that helps! -
well there’s two ways to do this and which one you choose depends on how much flexibility you need.
Ok, you go to your Text-Layer. You should see ‘Transform’ and ‘Text’ there as Options. Press ‘s’ to reveal the Scale Properties of the layer. This Scale Property here will affect the whole layer and the Text with it of course. On the left to your values displayed there’s a little switch. Its set to hold the proportions while scaling by default. click on it and the icon will disappear. For vertical scale you want to change the Y-Value which is the second one. You should now be able to change this value without the X-Value changing with it.
Another way is to use that little switch that says ‘animate’ which you find on the line of the Text-Property menu. click on it and select scale from the pop-up. This adds an Animator to your Text-Properties. From here on it’s all the same. click on the little switch to unconstrain the proportions…
Hope that helps, cheers -
use the write-on effect and set the ‘Brush Time Properties’ to ‘size’.

Control+A (select all layers) hit p (reveal the position property of all selected layers) Move your keyframes.
you got 240 layers in one composition? Maybe you should think about doing some precomposing.

This is the default setting. You can easily adjust the Anchorpoint by selecting the ‘Pan behind Tool’ (or access it pressing Y) that allows you to drag your anchorpoint to any point you want it to be.
To do this manually, there is a little hidden menu to the right of your Text-Options, a switch that says ‘animate’. Click the little arrow and select Anchorpoint from the pop up. This is going to add an Animator group holding the transformation of Anchorpoint.Hope I could help out.

I know, for imported projects this is the way to do it. For Tutorials, I like to do them from scratch, I feel that teaches me more. And when I’m writing the code anyway (Syntax practice 🙂 I know copy and paste would be easier) it’s no extra work.
Thank you for the hint
