Hey Chris, yes, sorry for not pointing out this. CC 2020

Hey Yoan – the questions is how do you plan to isolate suffixes and how they will be “decided” to use? Will it be done with expressions, by affecting last two chars of a number (st,nd,rd,th)? That will indicate an approach how to make this happen – either with styles, or with text animator & scale.

Hey Leonie, here are some thoughts based on your files:

1. If I understood correctly, your initial ideal will won’t work with dynamic number of data points, UNLESS you make sure there are that much layers created in the “Graph” comp. Meaning, if you do it now with more than 12 values – it won’t work (I guess you are aware of this, but just to highlight an issue of this approach)

2. In “Graph” comp, assuming your comp structure isn’t going to change, define seriesrating[X] as seriesrating[index+1] (as first layer in a list starts with index of 1, but arrays has indexing from 0). You won’t need to manually update it.

3. Now with above in mind, you should add a check which evaluates maximum seriesrating index in a .json, to not overcome maximum. This could be done in a control layer at the bottom of the comp, on in other place. Since you are approaching this Seasons-based, I would suggest collecting objects in array, which has matching “Season” index. Then – getting length of that objects array.

4. When number of season-items will be clear, you can interpolate X’s distances based on that number, and your comp/design width. However, 1st point must be taken into account for this.

5. I would suggest to not have contants attached to variables like “-600” and “900” – link them through Sliders, to have dynamically adjustable design.

Hope any of these helps to figure it out!

Hey Mervin, instead of scaling a shape, try changing the size of rectangle – it will maintain roundness.
That will prevent of these things happening.

Hey Eric, we need to know what those end cards contains. Whether there are texts only, images, videos, etc. Ideally, screenshot would be the best, if .aep itself is not shareable.

Based on that, solution can be suggested – either through expressions or scripting.

Cheers 🙂

if you need numbers with decimals:
parseFloat(yourStringFromSourceText)

If integers:
parseInt(yourStringFromSourceText)

Andrei, I kind of did on hack in the past, which might help you as well:
1. Apply Line Spacing from Text Animator.

2. Grab whole text height by sourceRect.

3. Get number of lines in the text, by finding line breaks.

4. Either set expression or set value by script, to calculate approximate value needed.

Not 100% sure if this will do what you need to, but I used this approach to space out text in a fixed height container, when number of lines varies (different thing, though)

Stephen – just wanted to say that this is not the first thread where your responses just shines brightly! Well done and keep it coming 🙂

Hey Scott, few things to clarify:
1. Eventually what you want to achieve, is to make N texts, where each is labeled with a x/N of tick value, where x is current tick index. Correct?
2. Is number of ticks going to change anytime? Why it could change, and is it possible you want it to be animated?
3. The reason being you want this to be implemented, to avoid manual repositioning of texts, as well as manual values addition?

Cheers!
