You could do that. You'd probably need to move up to something like Trapcode SoundKeys for that though.

@@Workbenchtv thanks I'll take a look.

@@myfmc73 You're welcome. Good luck with your projects!

Thanks! Simulation is beyond anything I’ve tried in it. I would think it might, but you’ll have to implement all of the math. Their forum is quiet but pretty good. There’s a dude there named John that has done a lot of things and is usually around to help. He likes seeing people around to help keep the forum alive.

No. We just numbered our tutorials when we started.

Lottie doesn't allow expressions. You'll have to bake the keys.

@@Workbenchtv Ah, ok. Thank you <3 Anyway it seems super useful for animating isometric stuff! :D

@@leon-g You're welcome! It is. By the way, you can use EasyBake to make it easier.

@@Workbenchtv Cool! Haven't heard of that before, but I will check it out!

Thank you so much for the kind comment! You’re welcome! We still plan on making more. Time just became a huge factor.

@@Workbenchtv ooooh! Can't wait 🔥

I realized I can do the same thing by just duplicating the layer can change the seed and opacity tho!

You're welcome ! I just tested in AE 2022. I think what's happening is this: when you have the shape's group (Shape 1) still selected and you add a Repeater and Wiggle Transform it ends up in the group, so when you change the opacity of Transform: Shape 1, everything changes as one unit essentially. Repeater and Wiggle Transform need to be outside of Shape 1. You can drag them out by dragging them on top of Contents. Alternatively, you can change the opacity on Stroke 1 instead. Basically, the opacity change just needs to happen before Repeater and Wiggle Transform.

@@Workbenchtv OMG YOU'RE RIGHT!!THAT'S WHERE THE PROBLEM IS!! I dragged them out of shape 1 and now it works!! Thank you so much!!

@@1314specialYou're welcome!

You're welcome!

In Saber, you need to open up Render Settings and go to Composite Settings. Change it to transparent.

You’re welcome!

We might just have to release an analog version. 😂

It has nothing to do with how the months are 0 indexed as I'm explicitly giving it the date as a string, not an integer. It has to do with time zone. Creating it as YYYY-MM-01 assumes the first day of the month but at UTC. I'm not in UTC, so it gave me the previous month. If I omit the 0 from the day (YYYY-MM-1), I'm not 100% following the ISO 8601 spec so it no longer assumes UTC. The most proper way would be to add the correct time + timezone. Or just set it to the second day of the month as the method I chose could break on other systems. You can get a better explanation here: developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date#date_time_string_format When the time zone offset is absent, date-only forms are interpreted as a UTC time and date-time forms are interpreted as local time. This is due to a historical spec error that was not consistent with ISO 8601 but could not be changed due to web compatibility.

@@Workbenchtv ohhhhhhhhhhhh damn thanks for correcting me

@Nicogs you’re welcome. It wasn’t a bad assumption. It’s just a very weird, niche thing.

I don't remember what this one was originally, but it shouldn't matter what size you use.

@@Workbenchtv okay thank you

The angle control doesn't do anything on its own. Also, I'm not sure what you added the code to if you don't have Animator 1 on there. That means you're not using a text animator, which is what this whole video is about. On your timeline, next to > Text under your text layer, you'll see Animate > on the far right. You need to click that and pick something to animate. If you didn't do that, nothing would happen. Here's the help info for text animators: helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/using/animating-text.html Text Animators isn't a generic phrase in the context of After Effects, it's a specific thing so you can animate text.

You'll need written permission from my wife. 😂

😂

Hey! You need to use its controls. There might be a way to link that with a camera in AE, but there's no way to easily push in or pull out. If you need that kind of control, it's best to move to an actual 3D program.

Thanks!

Here's the issue. If you're a beginner who's trying to learn, this probably isn't what you should be learning. But if you're intermediate to advanced, this is aimed at your skill level. What I skip is all of the really basic stuff-"this is how you add a new layer" etc. That said, this one was pretty fast-also likely done when I didn't have much time-and I could've at least showed what the matte I used looked like. Anyway, all this is to say that I've been considering how to approach this for the future. Hopefully we'll get back to it soon. Thanks for your comment!

It all depends upon who develops it. I don’t recall at the moment, but I use C4D so I probably followed its convention. I believe most packages are similar, but then you get Blender which uses Z-up instead of Y-up. CAD follows that same convention too I believe. So I guess ultimately I just chose what I liked.

Shh!

I had to.

Unfortunately, until we have true variable fonts in After Effects, it's always going to pop between the different weights. But it even does in this video. I just chose a font with a lot of weights. The more in-between weights you can get, the smoother it will be. 4 is going to be choppy unless the duration of your animation is REALLY fast. I used 8 in this example.

Haha, thanks! I’m glad you found it useful!

Glad to hear it!

Why would I know? As I’ve never used Vegas, you’re more of an expert in it than I am. 😂

Haha, thanks! Glad it’s still helpful!

You should be able to right click on your audio track, select Keyframe Assistant > Convert Audio to Keyframes, and connect the Both Channels slider on the Audio Amplitude layer to the Amplitude of Producer 1. That said, I haven't tried it so I don't know exactly if those two things will translate since time is a factor in the Wave World effect.

Desculpe. Este é apenas um tópico realmente avançado.

You're welcome!

Glad you found it helpful! Cheers!

OK, so there are a few things to correct. The first one is that we're not referencing the effect by the path, as seen in the menu. We just reference effects on the current layer with effect("Effect Name")("UI Control"). You only need those two parts, any more and it will throw an error. In my case, as it's a best practice to rename your Expression Controls to match what they're used for, I've renamed my Slider Control to Select. The UI element is still called Slider, so that's why my original expression has effect("Select")("Slider"). As for why we rename these effects-if you have multiple Slider Controls it gets confusing and you can no longer reference them by name because After Effects will stop at the first effect named "Slider Control." After you get that working, if you run into issues with the typefaces themselves, I've explained how to set that part up in detail a few times in the comments. I hope that helps!

You're welcome!

Go to the website and grab the code ( workbench.tv/tutorials/2020-08-27_FontWeights ). You don't need to pickwhip anything. You just need to add a Slider Control and rename it to select. Since I used Texta, I'd try it with that first so you can test to get it working first and then use Ninito Sans. Then you need to figure out what the weights are named internally to change them in the array. Insert "throw family[1];" without the quotes on a new line after "family = family.split('-');" That will give you an error with the internal name of the weight. Sometimes they're logical, sometimes they aren't. Some fonts with relatively normal weight naming just use the weight name that's in the dropdown without any spaces. For example my copy of Gotham Ultra Italic is UltraItalic, so I'd put UltraItalic in my array to use that font weight. Hopefully that helps. Unfortunately the naming isn't uniform, and we can't access the actual dropdown menu in AE, so I can't get it to work programmatically without having to set it up first.

2:19 you just put /2 at the end to divide by two.

Hey! Awesome! Glad to be of help. Thanks for the kind words, and yeah, there was some great stuff about Illuminati and what not, although it appears that guy deleted a lot of the funnier bits. 😂 Have a great day!

Since I built it a few other people made similar scripts, but I also wanted to make it work on keyframes too, which are a super huge nightmare since AE doesn't have the proper setup to deal with them correctly. That said, I might still make it, but it won't be for a while. I believe I did give out an early copy on our Patreon, but I don't remember 100%. If it's not I can add it.

@@Workbenchtv I'm quite looking forward to it. Although there are the same scripts on the website, some people may like the scripts you developed, or maybe fans recognize and support the blogger's development. I would like to ask another "Select Nth" script will be released in the future?

@@kwantoho Yes, I can do that. For some reason, I never put that one out there. It basically selects layers up and down based on a number, for example if you pick 2 it'll pick every other layer up or down depending upon which button you click. There are a couple of handy ones I've built that I need to package up and put out there. Unfortunately, time is limited. 😂

Hi! Thanks for the kind words! Assuming that you have all of the controls built-and it sounds like you do from the error-you just need to move those two functions up (rotatePoint and translatePoint) so that the last line of the expression is createPath(pts); I usually put them at the very top now. Honestly, I should've done it then, but it was easier to keep them out of the way by putting them on the bottom-which the older engine let you do. In the newer engine, you have to end your expression with the expected output. That should fix it. Let me know if you run into something else!

@@Workbenchtv That did the trick! Thanks so much for your help.

@@skrobert6737 Excellent! You're welcome.
