The American Presidency
Inspired by the awesome work of Adam Grabowski, I attempted to flip and rotate compositions using keyframes and expressions. In the process, I was able to develop a host of reusable expressions.
Inspired by the awesome work of Adam Grabowski, I attempted to flip compositions using keyframes and expressions. In the process, I was able to develop a host of reusable expressions. Thanks to modifications to the awesome tutorials of Dan Ebberts, I was able to create an expression that found the velocity of impact on a layer (when the comp boxes were being rotated) and used that figure, among other custom figures, to create property-agnostic bounce code at appropriate times. I was able to apply this code to the position property and the text animator property. It was also really exciting to use expressions that referenced property layers found in different compositions and to utilize a custom text expressions -- one a marquee and the other a floaty rotation and position movement.
1) First, with modifications to a great tutorial by Dan Ebberts, I was able to create an expression that found the velocity of impact on a layer (in this case, when the comp boxes being rotated hit the bottom of the screen) and used that figure, among other custom figures, to create property-agnostic bounces at designated times. I was able to apply this code to the position property and the text animator property.
2) Second, to achieve the main rotation effect, I had to reference property layers found in different comps, which was very exciting. This type of referencing also enabled me to achieve my own ultra-flexible version of parenting.
3) Third, I was able to utilize two types of custom text expressions: one that created a marquee effect and another that created a floaty rotation and position effect.
