How about:
if (numKeys > 1){
t1 = key(1).time;
t2 = key(2).time;
v1 = thisComp.layer("Slider").effect("value")("Slider");
v2 = 0;

t = time<=t2 ? time : (Math.floor((time-t1)/(t2-t1)) % 2 === 0 ? t1+((time-t1) % (t2-t1)) : t2-((time-t1) % (t2-t1)));

linear(t,t1,t2,v1,v2);
}else
value

Have you checked if the comp is really the item(1)?

This may happen if after importing files and creating folders your comp’s index has changed and item(1) now is not a comp but some footage or folder (which don’t have a layer() function and thus the error).

An Expression Selector for the Opacity Animator (with Opacity value = 0%) with this expression:

text.sourceText.value.charCodeAt(textIndex-1)-97+1 <= time ? 0 : 100;

will make letters appear in alphabetical order with the period of 1 second. This will work for the text consisting of lower-case letters only. If you change “97” to “65”, it will do the same for an all-upper-case-letters text.

This looks like Text Animator with Wiggly Selector:
Text->Animate->Fill Color (setting it red will give you the colors like those on the video)
Add->Selector->Wiggly

This already gives you the color effect almost like the one on the video.
Since there’s also a varying opacity, you can Add->Property->Opacity and make it 0%.
To stop flickering, make Wiggly Selector -> Max Amount=0.

>One more thing to try
*not sure what you meant by “TCP Port change” – that or smth else.

[Oleg Pirogov]

One more thing to try: change port 5030 to 5027 in Cinema 4D render properties. That worked for me.

What is the comp’s Composition->Composition Settings->Pixel Aspect Ratio (is it anything different from Square Pixels?)?

[Oleg Pirogov]

There is another property called “Disperse” – the one that seems to be a property group in “Layers Maps” but
technically has property type “PROPERTY” and property value type “NO_VALUE”. It has lesser property index than the Disperse you want, so effect.property(“Disperse F2”) references the wrong one.

I suggest referencing it by index or match name.
