Hi Angelo,

Thanks for your continued help. Unfortunately I don’t get the same results when pressing the function key.

If I press “fn +10″, it doesn’t advance me 10 frames on my macbook pro retina (15” model (2011)).

So perhaps Apple did away with that feature on macbooks.

Thanks again.

Hi Angelo and thank you for replying.

Actually none of the macbook pros have numerical pads. I believe”s it’s only PC laptops that have them.

Regaridng your third suggestion, using the function key, how do you have it configured?

Hi Les, thanks for replying. I actually just discovered that there is a shortcut for creating a new Layer: ⌘L

I’ll try to create an action for “delete layer” though. Thanks again.

Whoa! Great! Silly me, I didn’t realize it was that simple. Thanks Dave!

Thanks so much Ted, your method turned out to be the most efficient and easiest of them all!

[Nick Natteau]

Thanks very much everybody. Ted, can you elaborate a little more on your method?

Are you using only Nulls to do that? No cameras at all? I didn’t know you could do it without any cameras.

Thank very much for your help. I saw the tutorial several times but I didn’t see where he mentions repositioning the target. Whenever I apply the Sure Target, it’s way off center from where it should be. Positioning doesn’t seem to work with the Sure Target. Can you tell me what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks again. will check the tutorial again but still haven’t been able to get Sure Target to center on my targets.

[Nick Natteau]

Thank you very much Craig and Ted. I will try out both ways. Very much appreciate your help.

Hi Declan,

Thank you very much! I admire your patience with me. AE is an amazing program, and I feel like I’ve only just scratched the surface of what it can do. But all those expressions are really intimidating. I’m very grateful to you for taking the time to explain it all. I’m sure this will help others as well. Thanks again!

Hi Declan,

I believe some currencies like the Euro actually go after the number. So I’ve been trying to change the position of the currency from appearing before to appearing after with the point instead of slider expression, and it doesn’t seem to be working:

I tried changing this:

“$” + (effect(“Point Control”)(“Point”)[0].toFixed(2)).replace(/(d)(?=(d{3})+(?!d))/g, “$1,”);

to this:

(effect(“Point Control”)(“Point”)[0].toFixed(2)).replace(/(d)(?=(d{3})+(?!d))/g, “$1,”); + “S”

but the currency symbol isn’t appearing after. It seems to be breaking the setup.
