Hey Rafael, did you reached some sort of solution on your end?

As I been exploring data visualizations myself for a while and managed to build race bar chart as well. For a reference:

Area Chart 00:10 – 01:00
Bar Chart 01:00 – 01:55
Line / Rect Chart 01:55

Kyung – just one thing to clarify – expression above should be added into 3rd layer’s (result) Source Text.

Hey Kyung,

here is the idea:
1. First layer in the comp – reference.
2. Second layer – new order.
3. Third – result.

This can be changed of course, but for better visual clue, I made it this way.

Seems to do what it is suppose to.

refText = thisComp.layer(1).text.sourceText
curText = thisComp.layer(2).text.sourceText

refArray = refText.split(",");
curArray = curText.split(",")

res = "";

for(i=0; i<refArray.length; i++){

refText = refArray[i];
for(j=0; j<curArray.length; j++){
curText = curArray[j];
if (refText == curText){
curIndex = j;
}
}
res = res + refText + "=" + (curIndex+1).toString() + ",";
}

res

Hey Mike,

this is pretty easy to accomplish.

1. Put all ‘cars’ in a composition called ‘all-cars-comp’
2. Put this ‘all-cars-comp’ into your ‘main’ master comp.
3. Add slider control to this layer.
4. Apply the following expression to every ‘car’ layer’s opacity, in ‘all-cars-comp’
selectedIndex = comp("main").layer("all-cars-comp").effect("Slider Control")(1);
carIndex = index;

if (selectedIndex == carIndex){
100
}else{
0
}

5. Change slider values and thats it! 🙂

Hey Gabriel, just quick clarification:

1. Text A will reach value of text B as a maximum?
2. Once Text A reaches Text B (360/360), progress bar should fill 100%?
3. How you made a progress bar – is it a path or rectangle with stroke? Do you need exactly similar like this design? (lower opacity fill with full opacity stroke) Its not a big deal, just making sure, to provide an approach.

Cheers!

Eric, try below, it seems like it should be it. Alternatively, please just provide a draft .aep to work on directly.

You could adjust timings easily by linking slider to values. Of course, if this is what you are after !

m = thisComp.layer(1).marker.key(1);

textLayer = thisComp.layer(1).text.sourceText;
textLastKey = textLayer.key(textLayer.numKeys);
textLastKeyTime = textLastKey.time;

animationDurationInFrames = 10;
frameDur = thisComp.frameDuration;
animationDurationSeconds = animationDurationInFrames * frameDur;
mTime = m.time;
animStart = mTime-animationDurationSeconds;

eTime = textLastKeyTime+animationDurationSeconds;

if (time &lt;= mTime){
s = ease(time, animStart, mTime, 0, 100);
}else if (time >= textLastKeyTime){
s = ease(time, textLastKeyTime, eTime, 100, 0)
}else{
s = 100;
}

Hey Eric, to break down your 1st issue:

1. Do you want to control scale-up and scale-down as time-remapping? Meaning, is animation of scaling defined in the pre-comp, or outside of it?
2. So animation in, should start at 1st market. Animation out – on last keyframe on text source. Is this correct? Maybe it would make more sense to also do delays for both?

Covering these questions will lay a ground for solution.

Hey Ilya, can you specify what later you are doing with split text array? Because, you could simply ‘build it’ back into a string again, just comma separated + return carriage. Yet, this will depend on what you are doing with it futher.
