A little confused. So this would go in my Solid’s position attribute?

Setting the comp FPS low is unfeasible as I have other layers that need to move at different rates.

I’m working in a completely anamorphic pipeline. Rendering to square adds another step and processing for all my shots.

AE needs to correctly write the aspect ratio to DPX files like Nuke does.

Thanks Dan. I tried it out, but it doesn’t seem to be accurate. It’s off a few frames.

I found this expression that is totally accurate, but I have no idea how it’s working. What is it doing differently?

for(i=2;i<=thisComp.numLayers;i++){
if(thisComp.layer(i).inPoint <= time && thisComp.layer(i).outPoint >= time){
text.sourceText = thisComp.layer(i).name +” — “+ timeToCurrentFormat(thisComp.layer(i).sourceTime());
}
}

Ooops… maybe have spoken too soon.

I’m getting negative values if I use a wiggle amplitude of 100 (for 100% scale). The minimum it should ever go to is 0% scale with Math.abs, right? The starting scale values are 100,100.

Brilliant at always! Thanks Dan!!

I’m getting an error with this and Buzzwords in AE CC2014.2

With your script, I’m getting this error when RAM previewing. (It accepts it at first, but errors out once I start moving the playhead)

Property or method ’10’ in Class ‘Array’ is missing or does not exist.
Source Text (line 13) of Layer 1…

With the buzzwords preset, I’m getting the error “Property of method ‘-1’ etc etc.

Any ideas?

I tried that. But nothing happened.

After some playing around, it seems the shape and fill both need to be contained a Group object for the gizmo to appear? I take either the fill or shape out of the group and the gizmo disappears.

Amazing, per usual, Dan! Thank you!

Just make sure you don’t have a background for your text. Turn on the transparency checkerboard. Where ever you see the checkerboard is what is transparent.

Avid’s DNxHD codec supports alpha channel as well as Quicktime Animation and ProRes 4444.

Argh. That’s too bad. I’m assuming the eval() function of reading a text file off a drive has a big performance hit — esp if you have a ton of layers reading it.

Whatever happened to Adobe Capsules? Weren’t they supposed to give nodal-type reusable expressions, but without the complexity of a true nodal system?
