I have a shape layer stroke on which I have used Zig Zag modifier to create a ripple effect. I have then connected the size of the Zig Zag modifier to Audio Keyframes.

Sample Image 2 is the effect I want

Sample Image 1 is the effect that I have

Sample Image 3 is the composition I have

I want to be able to control the spread of this ripple and have it…

Hi,

I have an animation that I have keyframed, I’d like to know whether there is an expression that could save me the time of keyframing this.

Basically, I have two solids (A&B) aligned against each other. If A scales down I want B to retain its size and translate in position to the scale of A, vice versa. Also, I want the expression to have a…

Hi Bart,

I know it’s a little too late, but in case you haven’t figured it out yet, you’ll get the gradient contraols when you have the ancho controls enabled (Y).

Hi,

Is there a way I can automate this pool aim gfx? At the moment I’m keyframing the multiple paths, I want to know if there’s a way that I can just have one set of keyframes.

Thank you.

Hi Stephen,

Referring to my project, let’s say that my in-animation is 10 frames, stay is 10 frames, and out-animation is 10 frames. Now, I have duplicated the comp and placed it at the out-animation of the previous comp so that when the first comp animates-out, my second comp animaties-in. Now, when I modify the transform properties on the null,…

Hi,

I have a project that has the same animation happening across multiple layers. I’ve figured out how to procedurally manipulate the transform properties, but this has brought out a bigger issue. The comps themselves don’t procedurally shift over time. I’ll still have to manually shift every layer to the modified transform properties. Please…

Hi Stephen,

I appreciate the time you’ve taken to explain the expression. Although, when I use the expression itself, it doesn’t work. I’m using the latest version of AE. Could there be something that I’m not doing right?

Hi,

So I found an After Effects expression that adds a cursor blinker to your text.

Speed = 10; // typing speed

Blink = 2; // Speed of blinking cursor

CursorType = “|” // cursor type. Usually it is a vertical line “|” or Underscore symbol ‘_’

F = Math.round(time*Blink % 1);

L = text.sourceText.length;

T = (time – thisLayer.inPoint)*Speed;

if(F ==1 | (T<L…
