You’re a lifesaver! That “more options” thingy was the one driving me mad. I didn’t know it was there. Thanks a lot!!

Hi Hector, thanks for the reply. However I’m afraid I didn’t explain myself correctly. My problem is not placement but synchronizing the layers. Let me try again an explain, I have that “40% Off” layer animated with an expression in the scale animator’s amount, the characters pop up from 0 to 100% with some overshoot. I’ll need to keep this…

Hello, I’m working on this promo piece where I need to set up the classic “40% Off” text that I will reuse over and over. Since the format gets tricky using one single text layer I needed to brake it into three separate layers. I have this awesome overshoot expression by character applied to a guide text layer with the complete string ‘40% Off’,…

If you think it works there’s a great chance it will hahaha, Thanks Dan. I’ll see if I can make it work and get back at you.

Hi again Dan, I just thought of something that could work. What if I created an expression telling the object to rotate a certain amount of degrees or revolutions between the “in” marker and the next action? Given your proficiency with expressions you may know if this would work or not beforehand. What do you think?

Hi Dan, I’m using the one on your website motionscript.com.

Hi Creative Cow comunity, I use Dan Ebbert’s expression to trigger animations based on markers a lot and I love it. However when there’s constant animation there’s an unaesthetic jump when I move from one action to the other. For example, I have a tringle that enters the comp by moving from the left edge to the center of the comp and stops there,…

I tried limiting the wiggle as you suggested and it looks even better. Without it looks too cartoony.

Confirmed! it works perfectly! Thanks a lot Dan.

You’re the greatest. I’ll give it a try and get back to you. Thanks a lot Dan.

Yes, that’d be the same as deleting the most extreme states. However, I found that lowering the frequency it gets a little more natural. I guess that’s all I can get. Now I’d like to make it a loop, I’ve been trying to figure out how to blend this with your looping wiggle expression with no luck. Do you think is doable?

Thanks for your help Dan.

I’m sorry I missed your reply. Thanks a lot, Dan, it’s amazing how you come up with the simplest of expressions that work perfectly. I’m trying to figure out how to make it not go to the extremes so often, it looks kind of unnatural to go from extreme wind towards one direction to extreme wind in the other in almost immediate order. I don’t want…

Hello, I’m working on a project that I intend to export to Lottie. I need to make a hill with grass waving to the wind and had a very nice one that ended up incompatible with Lottie files since it had transformation effects on. So now I’ve manually made grass in a sequence of different slants in Illustrator that make the impression of the grass…

Never mind, I just realized it’s not the secondary animation but the markers that are causing it. Still don’t know why since there are some frames between the end of the animation and the start of the “out” action its subsequent marker.

Hello, I have a comp with another comp inside. Let’s name them “Comp” and “Precomp”. Inside Precomp I have a set of two or three layers of animated text. In the Comp, the Precomp has “In” and “Out” markers that trigger the animations inside. Also, I created a scaling animation using the markers on the Precomp layer so that there’s constant…
