So you had to rewrite the expressions I sent you?
Damn.
I had entirely forgotten that AE already came in 3 languages before (didn’t it? Eng, Deu, Fra).
I will try to do my best to turn that AE version into English. When I get mine, I know I will need it. I know all filters in English, translations for most words (“Luma Key”) are longer and not always the right translation. In the best cases, even if they are correct, they are not the words I learned a while ago. Just imagine what can happen if you want to download a complex expression by Dan Ebberts and try to understand it before you see it working!

Hi.
To all cow members, sorry for insisting about this issue, but if they say they look here what the usual AE weak points are…
Sebastien, I made a script that puts a tracker data into a mask vertex, check it out here:
https://www.aenhancers.com/viewtopic.php?t=329
It’s got its bugs, but can help you with this workaround:
Make a mask in the layer (adjustment layer or whatever). Run the script. Select the mask and click on the Apply tracker. This layer, even if it doesn’t have anything to track in it, will have now a motion tracker.
PUT THE EXPRESSIONS IN THE ATTACH POINT VALUES OF EACH TRACKER.
Now, choose in the menu above: Animation/Keyframe Assistant/Convert Expression to keyframes.
Now select the mask and the motion tracker in the timeline (the one you can open to see Track Point 1, 2, etc). In the script palette, click on Apply Mask.
Each vertex of the mask will now have the same values as the related attach point.
It can drive you crazy if you want to check these things in real time, but that’s the cheapest solution I know for that. As far as I know, if you don’t convert the expressions to keyframes, you won’t get the results.
Hope that works.

Yes. Pitch is directly based on length of the waves, which means that faster means higher. Changing pitch or speed withouth alterning the other one requires complex (internal) math operations wich AE software doesn’t include. Get Adobe Audition for that, or any other dedicated program. There it’s as easy as choosing “change speed and not pitch to 125%”.

Damn, I came late!
The separate masks in layers script would have been quite helpful about 2 hours ago!

I had the same problem. Its extremely weird, I agree, and it’s not that intuitively accesible.
The solution in AE 6.5: File/Project Settings…/Timecode base – 25 fps.

It would be cool if in future versions of AE they could implement a sort of placeholder for effects right there, in the animatable parameters.
