Next question now is how to apply your expression to averaging the rotation values of a tracked camera wobble?

[Ole Sturm]

FYI, here’s what I’ve ended up with:

point = thisComp.layer("tracked").transform.position; //"tracked" is the layer which contains the tracking data
accum = [0,0];
fTotal = timeToFrames(thisComp.duration);
for (f = 0; f < fTotal; f++){
accum += point.valueAtTime(framesToTime(f));
}
centre=accum/fTotal;
distance=thisComp.layer("tracked").transform.position;
difference=distance-centre;
if (effect("scale")("Slider")>1) { //the "scale" effects is a slider expression control which scales the tracked data up or down
distance+(difference*effect("scale")("Slider"));
} else {
distance-(difference*effect("scale")("Slider"));
}

Hi Dan,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Got it working – thanks a stack… much appreciated.

cheerio

Hi Dan,

Ok. just having a play around with that but am not having any joy (I’m probably misunderstanding your approach). To test the expression I added keyframes to “Null 1” and then applied the expression to a layer’s position. If you understand it correctly skewing Null 1’s keyframes off centre should affect the position of the layer, is that right?

As for the plugin, keep them coming – I for one am certainly up for them.

Fantastic Dan, thanks very much – that’ll keep me going.

Best regards.

p.s. loving your Motion Monkey plugin.

Ahhh Dan, ever the wanna-be expressioneers knight in shining armour. When you put it the way you’ve put it, it seems so much clearer. The “average” approach is tempting but I have no idea where I would need to start with that. Are you able to point me in the right direction?

As ever, thanks so much for your help over the years.

Hi Michael,

I’ve not been able to get this to work. I’ve assigned a texture directly to the cloner object but I cannot find an option to set flat mapping anywhere.

[Ole Sturm]

Hi

that won’t work for me since my clones are not cubes ie. they’d overlap. So is it not possible to get the random effector to randomly distribute clones as 10cm, 20cm, 30cm etc?

Thanks very much.

Hi Michael,

I’m trying to figure out the same thing – how did you end up working it?

Thanks

Ole
