There used to be a "wet floor" script here:

But is seems to have been removed...?

The wet floor script would arrange them in a cricle like you mentioned.

Have you looked here?

I was quite disappointed that AE CS3 simply removed the Animation Preset Gallery. Is it just me? I can't find it anywhere. Now there is no way to preview effects presets in CS3. textIndex and selectorValue are in the standard help file, not the CS3 scripting PDF. Just type textIndex into the search ...

You might be able to adapt the "Insert Text" preset under Mechanical.

more experimenting has lead to this. myShape.vertices = [[0,0],[w,0],[w,h],[0,h]]; myShape.closed = true; myMaskShape.setValueAtTime(0,myShape); offset = 50; myShape.vertices = [[0+offset,0],[w+offset,0],[w+offset,h],[0+offset,h]]; myShape.closed = true; myMaskShape.setValueAtTime(1,myShape); It loo...

Hmmm, almost. // create square mask var newMask = mySolid.Masks.addProperty("Mask"); newMask.inverted = true; var myMaskShape = newMask.property("maskShape"); var myShape = myMaskShape.value; myShape.vertices = [[5,5],[5,45],[45,45],[45,5]]; myShape.closed = true; myMaskShape.set...

Once again, motionscript has the answer.

Hi All,

I am trying to automate a process and I need to create an animated mask on every layer I import.

I don't know if this is possible, but is there a way to create a mask using JSX? If so, how do I animate it?

Thanks

To simulate what is in the video you mention, remember to move the layer's achor point to the bottom of the card.

Just wondering...

Can't you achieve that effect with MotionTile applied to a layer? Make the layer 3D and roate it along the camera FOV?

Thank You Dan.

Hi All, I am trying to make a comp that has two slider controls. These two sliders represent the "Far Point" and "Near Point" of the layer they are controlling. I want to be able to traditionally key frame the x,y position, but I want the slider controllers to control the z posit...

Hmm, 84 views and no reply?

Is there no way to do this?

Hi All, I am trying to create an arrow that travels along a path. I want it to bend around the path as well. I have come up with a possible solution. I am using the Vegas effect with only a single segment, this get's me the body of the arrow bending along the path. So the challenge is to get the arr...

I would guess that it was made in after effects using the copy text into z-space technique.

Then I would visit http://www.motionscript.com and use Dan's bounce code.
