Nice ThaEagle!!

That's just what I needed. I was trying to do it whit in_point and out_point, but this key(x) is the solution.

Sometimes the expression gives me problem beacuse the keyframes generated by the script are positioned in the middle of two frames, like here:

After effects says:

In engish:
After Effects - Warning: Arguments of method incorrect: This property does not have keyframe number 2.
Disabled expression.

[edit]
Also don't worry if you get any errors, as you can prevent these, but to keep it more simple I left that out.

Well, AFX is frame dependant, if the keyframe happens to be between two frames it's going to take the closest one. You probably won't even notice the time difference anyway.

It happens when the script gets generated, the error doesn't matter since it's only the expression on the template that errors.

In each syllable (layer) I have the expressions disable due to the errors. Besides the script error generates two windows per error, in other words, if i have 100 syllables, i'll have to close 200 windows... And if i have more than one animator (i.e. 3) multiply that by 3... (600 windows).

If i select the expression and then click in other part of the windows, the error of the expression disappear...

How can I prevent it?

Thanks.

You need to use try:

Code:

try {
a = key(1).time;
b = a+12/23.976;
linear(time,a,b,key(1),key(2))
}
catch(err) {0}

Koke · 2011-07-03, 13:35

Wow!! It works!!

But I dont know why xD.

I'm going to search what that function does. In the mean time, can you explain it to me, please?

Thank you so much!!

Bye!

EDIT: Does that function ignore the errors of the expresion between {}??

Well, it tries an block of code and if that gives an error, it will do something else.

Everything inside the "try {}" statement will be checked for errors.
So, when your expression doesn't work (if it catches an error), I tell it to be 0 instead, "catch(err) {0}".

Koke · 2011-07-03, 13:56

I'm using this:

Code:

fr=24000/1001; 
ini = key(1).time; 
fin = ini+3/fr; 
try{
	linear(time,ini,fin,key(1),key(2));}
catch(err) {0};

Can I improve it?

Bye!

ThaEagle · 2011-07-03, 15:07

Not sure what you want to improve...

Koke · 2011-07-03, 15:26

Nothing. I've tested it and works worderfully.

Another question, can you make fixed syllable with effects? I can only be able to do it with animators.

Bye!

Yes, just use what I taught you before, but on the effect instead. Probably you want to combine the two expressions.

Koke · 2011-07-03, 15:37

Ok, i'll use comands instead of xml in krk script to do that. But if you need fixed in and out transitions for your effects the krk script allows you to do it.

Thank you very much, ThaEagle. I've even learnt english talking to you. I apreciate your help a lot.

Good bye!

What he is doing on the picture is zooming in.
The whiter area you are highlighting under the time indicator is showing how long a frame is. You need to zoom a bit to see this maybe that is what you are having problems with?

gilcohen · 2011-07-25, 14:19

It doesn't matter already

Thank you very much!

gilcohen · 2011-07-25, 14:42

Hi, I have question - The After effects is moving very slowly, maybe because I don't have a good computer?

I have 2 GB RAM in computer, If I buy another 2GB is move more good?
or actually is something other?

Thanks.

Edit: I'm very sorry on the double... I forget that I can edit the first reply.

You should first get rid of any programs that you rarely use, cleaning up some space.
Usually After Effects will be slow if you have a lot of programs running in the background, especially on a computer with less memory.
Maybe consider formating the computer before resulting in to buying new hardware to fix your problem.

gilcohen · 2011-07-25, 16:05

I have a lot of space, and alot memory.

And I shut down all the programs before I open the after effects, and still move slow, not very slowly, but slow.

I bought my computer 2 years ago so maybe is it ,and I need buy more GB RAM

Hello to all seniors and pro-s at here. I'm new to using AFX to create anime's OP and ED effect. I wish that you all can help me. For the effects i got tutorial sites, so that's not a problem.

My problem for now is how can i load the .ass or .ssa files which contain \k value to AFX?
and also how to add the effects in after i load the .ass .ssa files?

Please kindly give me the route of getting my first step to AFX effect on~ Thank you.

What I am using to import .ass files to AFX is pichus karaoke script which can be found here: http://code.google.com/p/aftereffectskrk/

And if you want to learn how to use pichus kara script i recommend watching crash excellent tutorial found here: http://crashit.ath.cx/
You want to look at tutorial three, since it uses the latest version of pichus kara script.

Good luck!
