Hi Todd,
I’m experiencing the same lag as the other’s in this forum. I modified the preference file like you suggested but nothing has changed. The default was only set to 0.2 seconds but when jumping between comps the delay can be as long as 10 seconds or more. This seems like a cs6 bug because I’ve been using that feature since it was created and it’s always responded without delay. I’ve also tested this on several new systems both PC and Mac with the same results. Thanks in advance for for your help!

I just want to be clear that when I received your newsletter outlining the tutorial contest I was genuinely excited about creating something fun and cool for an online community I’ve respected for almost 10 years. A grand prize is always great but that was hardly a motivator for me. For anybody to complain about the ethics of a competition is absolutely ridiculous and should not ruin it for every other artist out there. I still don’t understand this decision but please keep me posted on if and when we can upload our work. This was supposed to be a fun project that we as a community could laugh at and enjoy.

I just finished my animation earlier tonight and now I’m finding out that the contest is canceled! Is there any place I can upload what I’ve done since I put some good time into it?
Thanks,
Steve

Wow! Thanks for all the input guys. I’m pretty sure that this is one of the most confusing things I’ve ever tried to find in Adobe documentation! I’m still trying to figure this out. I don’t see a “7.2.4” in any of the 3 current downloadable documents from the Adobe site. Chris, thanks for your link but is this version 1.7? It’s dated from 2006 and doesn’t seem to cover the “classic color burn.”

Thanks David,
I read this earlier and found it interesting. By definition, it seems that this is just a random legacy thing that Adobe decided to keep all these years. If they could give us a way to recreate the effect inside Photoshop, I’m sure I could figure out a flame translation. Thanks for the response.

Okay, I finally figured out what my problem was! It needs to be written like this:
x=thisComp.layer(“Controls”).effect(“x”)(“Slider”)-thisComp.width/2;
y=thisComp.layer(“Controls”).effect(“y”)(“Slider”)-thisComp.height/2;
z=thisComp.layer(“Controls”).effect(“z”)(“Slider”);
value+thisComp.layer(index +1).position.valueAtTime(time – .5)+[x,y,z];So now, with the added thisComp.width/2 and this Comp.height/2 lines, we can still move each duplicated layer without them being locked up and also have a time offset.
Cool! -
Hey Filip, thanks for your response. In that example, you don’t actually need to include the valueAtTime in each slider, it works the same by having it in the last line of code.
But I’m actually trying to figure out where the “valueAtTime” fit’s into this expression.x=thisComp.layer(“Controller”).effect(“x”)(“Slider”);
y=thisComp.layer(“Controller”).effect(“y”)(“Slider”);
z=thisComp.layer(“Controller”).effect(“z”)(“Slider”);
value+[x,y,(index*(z))]It’s almost the same thing except the “value+” gives me one more piece of added control for each layer. I just can’t seem to place the “valueAtTime” code in it without getting a syntax error. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Steve

Thanks for the suggestions , I’ll keep my eye out in the expression forums and hope that someday AE will include that feature.
