Hi Tomas, thanks for answering. I think that’s a good suggestion, I have actually OMG been able to solve this myself using the following If / else …/else…./else…. kind of expression. Like if the name at position 1 is team A (is the same as Badge A) then use Position 1 Here is the expression I used for all 18 Teams in the Bundesliga

x =…

Hello Christian, I realise your post is a bit older now, but I am facing a similar problem with a MOGRT, where I change the CSV file in the Essential graphics tab of premiere pro but no values are being updated. I, too, wanted to keep my editors out of after effects. Have you found a solution to this problem? Or a workaround? I’d be grateful to…

I just wanted to thank again Filip and Andrei for helping me out on this project. Creative cow is such a great place to get help, I hope one day to be knowledgeable enough to help people out on these forums as well, but until then, I’ve attached a copy of the final project in case anyone would like to take a look at this. I actually wanted to…

Hi Filip, many thanks for your help! This did the trick but now I have run into a new problem! Please could you take a look. The first screenshot everything is working as it should, i put the space after the %-sign and it worked. But then I changed the price in the csv File to a negative value and this wasn’t colored red. Will the exression…

Wow, yes!!!, this is it, great, thanks a lot. I’m still struggling with the green and red text. Can you please describe how I should go about doing this? Thanks again for taking the time. This has been a great help!

OOpps not quite, now I’m getting both symbols

Hi Andrei, thanks for the quick reply, but I don’t think this will work.
The percentage change in Price (A3, B3 etc shows a – when it is a
negative value, but no positive when it is a positive value. I want my
expression to look at the value and decide if it is negative or positive
and only in the case of a positive value it should then add…

Hallo, I’m trying to create a kind of stock market ticker. I’m using a spreadsheet to collect the daily data and export this as a .csv file. In After effects this works quite well. My problem is the third value I am trying to display for each stock is the percentage change from the previous days price. When this is a negative number then the minus…

Hi Jean, thank you so much for taking the time to try this out. I had hoped to be able to provide the editors with one input for full name but I don’t think this will be possible. I will have to create, like you did in the precomp, input fields for First and last Names. Thanks again for helping, Cheers, nick

Wow! Thanks for taking the time to try this out, but its not quite working. First of all if the expression takes the name from the Layer name, how can I incorporate that into an essential graphics template. and when I change the offset value things start disappearing. Any idea whats going on? Thanks again for your help

Hi Trent, thanks so much for your quick answer! If i use your first solution would the editors always have to use an underbar to seperate also 2 names? And if you have time could you please expand on your second solution cause I didn’t understand. Thanks again for your help!

Hallo, I’m building a Lower Third for a talkshow. Sometimes the last name has to be in Orange somtimes it has to remain White. To build an Essential Graphics Template for Editors, I thought I was being really clever creating one Text layer to input the full name and then use the Split()[0] method to send out the First name and second name to the…

Hallo Kevin, thanks for the reply. Unfortunately in my case the text had also a text box(also Photoshop Layer with a mask) and the reveal was the same Photoshop Layer(with a mask) I ended up recreating everything as a shape layers so I could use sourceRectAtTime expression. So now its all working. Thanks for your expression there I’ll try it out…

Hallo, I have to make some MOGRTs. I have a simple (left justified)Text
which, when changed should extend the width of the Text Box (to the
right) and the MaskLayer revealing the Text. Should be simple but I’ve
been provided with a Photoshop File(With the colour of the text Box)
with a Mask on it and this Mask has been animated. Can I use…
