Re: expression connecting brightness/cont to camera position(z)

rolita, I applied the Lens Bur effect to a layer. I decided to control the parameter Blur Focal Distance. I scrubbed the parameter and discovered that is has a range of 0-255. I set minBright to 0 and maxBright to 255. I played around with different value for minDist and maxDist. You will have to do...

The best way to protect your AEP is to not post it anywhere.

Re: AI To Mask?

Lloyd, It is a different result, but I had forgotten that AE could do tracing as well. The main difference seems to be that while AE autotrace produces a mask, the AI autotrace produces a "posterized" vector version of your footage. This allows you to scale your footage fairly large withou...

AI To Mask?

Hi All, I just discoverd the fact that CS3 Adobe Bridge can batch process an image sequence with Illustrators Live Trace feature. This basically gives you vectorized version of your footage. This made me all googly inside. I have been wanting a way to turn an AI path into an After Effects mask. Can ...

What about something like this... maxDev = 122.20; // max deviation in pixels spd = 8; //speed of oscillation decay = 1.0; //how fast it slows down t = time - inPoint; x = position[0]; y = position[1]; //Apply v to the axis you want to modulate. v = position[0] + maxDev*Math.sin(spd*t)/Math.exp(deca...

Re: From file to mask ... syntax problem

From what I can tell in your loop, you are assigning the loop index as one of the data values for a point. Consider this line... TempVar[i]=[i,number]; Notice, you are using the loop index i as one of your data values. Now consider the line from my exmaple post. myShape.vertices = [[5,5],[5,45],[45,...

Re: Increment Rotation At Markers

Can this be used with audio somehow?

Ideally to rotate on the beat. I often have the raw tracks for music, such as only the kick or only the snare fairly well isolated.

Re: Assign hotkeys to scripts in MAC OS X - I found a way

Whats wrong with using IN/OUT points for a layer? (Isn't that essentially what you are diong?)

I don't understand the point of your script?
