max2k:
im totally new to karaoke with after effects (and after effects itself, today is my third day - second day with pichus (awesome) script ) so forgive me if somethings wrong: im using at least two layers: one with the fade in/outs but without the syl (opacity) and one without the rest, so that the effect really only applys to the syl. (there is probably a better way that i dont know, whatever - it works) animate the effect like any textanimator/transform (keyframes and so on), and add the following to your xml-thing: <property name="effect.effectname" syl="syl" /> <- or without the 'syl="syl"' if its for the fade/line stuff. or <property name="effect" syl="syl" /> <- if you want to use every effect in the layer. dont know if thats the way it should be done, but it works. crash-kun: thanks for the tutorials(ive read the whole thread searching for your videos, and finally found them on the last page ). are there more tutorials coming? the first three are awesome and id really like to see how youre doing your karaoke (the world destruction op, asura cryin 2 ed, or a tale of melodies ep6 ed for example). |

normally? so there is an other/better way? i'd like to learn it right... somehow
Quote:
another question: is there a way to tell the script, that the fade out should not overlap with the next line? thats not really important, but would be usefull(doing that manually at the moment). i'd like to send you a pm on irc since ill probably have one or two questions regarding your second tutorial(wich i've only watched and not tryed - i'm going to try that one right away), but thats not that easy due to the different timezones etc. anyways: looking forward to some more of your tutorials! edit: thanks for the script, pichu!

as ive thought: ive got a problem with your second tutorial... everything works, but the .png moves a little unpredictable, while the pos from the syl itself doesnt... xml: <layer name="romaji" > <line name="romaji" /> <animator name="colorscale" syl="syl" /> </layer> <layer name="lucy" > <line name="romaji" /> <property name="effect.Position.Punkt" syl="syl" pos="romaji" /> <property name="effect.TransPos.Punkt" /> </layer> lucy is the name of the .png i'm using, "Punkt" is german for "Point". i've also tried this as xml-config: <layer name="romaji" > <line name="romaji" /> <animator name="colorscale" syl="syl" /> </layer> <layer name="lucy" > <line name="romaji" /> <property name='effect("Position")("Punkt")' syl="syl" pos="romaji" /> <property name='effect("TransPos")("Punkt")' /> </layer> MY AEP i've tried that with all the karaoke i've done so far in after effects, and i've also started 3 times from scratch... what am i doing wrong? |

Change the expression on the Transform property Position to something like this: Code:
add([effect("Position")("Punkt")[0],35] , effect("TransPos")("Punkt")) |

Recently I've been getting a lot of questions regarding how to add an effect like Glow to just the syllables. While there is a conversation and answer a few posts up I feel that an example may help people understand how to do it so here you go.
Adding Glow to Syllables Unfortunately I do not have access to the server running my site atm so this will have to suffice. It also strikes me that my second tutorial shows how so to this, maybe I explained it poorly? Just to show that there is no ONE way to do things here is another example that is slightly different. This one abuses the fact that you can make the Glow effect just show the glow and ignore what is glowing. Adding Glow to Syllables Again |

Spoiler for Fire:
Of course there is much more when it is animated, each syllable ignites then slowly burns off. As it burns it leaves an ash remnant of the syllable and once the whole line is finished, the ash blows away. Its rather entertaining and getting the whole thing to be generated with a script was interesting, but it does work! About the tutorial describing how to make it, I'm slightly concerned that the tutorial would be horribly long, its a rather in depth process and I tend to ramble while making tutorials which only serves to make them longer :P Once summer break rolls around who knows. I will most likely have lots of free time and finishing that karaoke is definitely on my list, just not at the top. |
