You need to write a loop. Something like:

while(time < 20) {for (i=0,i <= numberOfBeats, i++) {} } Don't have time to figure out the specifics, but you should find something usable for reference here at the COW. Mylenium [Pour Myl

You need to set the layer quality to “draft” to maintain all original pixel inforamtion of the font. If set to “best”, AE will interpolate.

[_kweso] “1. can you define expressions outside the layer?
and give the layers a link to this expression?
somehow creating a class. and where to put this
script?

Nope.

2. can you dublicate a layer via expressions?
so i dont have 50 layers in my timeline which
make just one object in the end.
just like ‘dublicateMovieClip()’ in macro-flash.”

Nope, not in the way you mean it. In AE all layers have to exist physically, there is no true instancing. Trapcode are working on a plugin for this, but it’s not going to be released before September. Looking at your project, though, I get the impression that you might want to explore pre-composing a bit more. Having all your layers in one comp is really not necessary.

Import your project file into the other project.

For the most part: No. But you could try to make your other five layers into one layer by pre-comping and then use auto-orient or expresssions to make it stay in place even though your camera is moving.

Transparency is not calculated linear in AE, so 50%+50% is not 50% overall transparency. Use Channel -> Blend from the effects to get linear dissolves.

You should check your graphics card driver. This error message normally pops up if AE is unable to reserve memory in the display pipeline for Open GL.

yepp it does, but since you know with which file your sequence starts, it should be simple to calculate the currently displayed file number as the frame number using for instance start_frame+timeToFrames(time). Other than that there is no way, since expressions don’t have acces to the physical file structure, only the imported references in the project window or composition.
