If you meant how I'd move a layer along a circle path - I'd create an ellipse shape, then copy the path to the position property of the layer I want to animate.
@@fanversepost He means changing text colour. No-one ever talks about that functionality. @unmushinthebeegyoshi I achieved this by making several text layers in the colours I wanted to toggle through. Parent the Source text of all layers below the top text layer to the SOurce text of the top layer (so they update) then paste in the expression if(thisComp.layer("Control Layer").effect("Dropdown Menu Control")("Menu")==1){100} else {0} and change the ==1 number for all text layers. Then you can add this to the Essential graphics Panel. That worked for me. Hope that helps.
I love the MOGRT, but have an unusual problem. After getting the timing correct to fit the pace of my speech it will repeat a word from the phrase at the end of the instance. I've tried several things and nothing seems to work. What I'd like to do is the following: Imagine I am using it for the phrase "Please get me some tea" and I am able to set the text speed to fit my cadence perfectly. I'd want the last word "tea" to stay on the screen for an extra second or so before the new instance begins. But instead of doing that the last word of my text will immediately go to another random word from the text. For example the caption will instead read as: "Please get me some tea get". The "get" will stay on screen until the instance ends, but I don't want that to be the last word, I want "tea" to be the last word. How do I fix this? (I'm using the latest version of PP 24.4.1 build 2). EDIT: I found a temporary solution. I have to type the last word twice. So, instead of typing "Please get me some tea" I have to type it as "Please get me some tea tea" in order for "tea" to stay on the screen and not switch to another random word from the text. But surely there is a better fix?
hey, thanks for flagging this. A solution can be just cut before the last frame of 'tea'. While the playhead is on 'tea', right click and select 'frame hold options'. Press ok and that frame should become a still frame for you. And you should be able to extend it left and right to fit your timeline. This should work. But doesn't, feel free to drop me an email - fanverse.io@gmail.com Will try to put out a tut about how to use this technique next week.
I was literally (and I mean it in the literal sense) trying to do something the other day with dots moving into different formations. But just couldn't get it to work right. I think I now know how. Thanks a lot, this really helps.
if (thisComp.layer("logo selecter").effect("Dropdown Menu Control")("Menu").value == index) { 100; } else { 0; } Also nice to use index so you can use the layer numbers and just stack a lot of stuff in there.
Hello and thanks for the plugin. I have a problem with it and maybe you could help. When i write the text I just don't see the preview changing the word, how do I solve this?
So try to drag a new mogrt to your timeline - you'll see two text input box. Do not do anything with the first one - in fact I think I put'Don't type anything in here'. And just type your text in the second text box. That should fix it. If that doesn't work, email me at fanverse.io@gmail.com, and I could guide you through.
If I zoom in for this effect (like you do in your TikTok text explainer) it is very pixelated. How do you make it look high res even when you've zoomed in? Great stuff, plan on throwing some money your way.
hey, thanks for flagging this. I've updated a UHD version of the mogrt to the link here - fanverse.gumroad.com/l/typewritermogrt But also I think you should be able to enlarge the text by toggling the scale slider. But make sure you set the caret(cursor) scale the same as well. Let me know if you have further questions. And thanks for your generosity, I'll set up something shortly.
Is there a way to use the subtitles/captions track to feed into this? Seems like it would be easier to use captions since the text is time synced with the narration.
Hey thanks for asking. I’d use the transcribe button in text window then generate CC. I will then copy and paste the cc to this mogrt and dial the speed. But you will have to do it manually. You will have to Alt/Opt+LMB to drag multiple instance of this mogrt across the timeline. Sounds tedious but still quicker than applying those effects to every word I’d say.
