AE Tutorial - Demystifying Anchor Point & Position Values

Lots of AE users have little, maybe-ideas and even AE trainers with 10 years of experience have issues in this area. It's like a dark Freemason secret.  🙂

This tutorial provides insights into this area and shows how they work with different layer types.

Thank you for th ekind words, Nishu. 

The next one will be interesting. It's something I've had  this AEP for about 12-13 years and I've used it to teach the Tect Tool in my AE classes - it's about Demystifying Range Selectors.

There are lots of tutorials on the Text Layer's Range Selector but AFAIK, they all skip a few parameters or fail to cover critical parameters in a sufficient manner. So, when mine comes on board, it will (hopefully) help demystify A LOT - maybe not everything BUT a lot, and it should open more creative opportunities for AE users when working with the Text Tool and the Range Selector. 

Have a great weekend.

Here's the clean Table

 

 

And a teaser for the, maybe, video tutorial. This rig uses Responsive MoGraph Features so that it works with different text inputs. The original rig I worked on was done about 12 years ago - before sourceRectAtTime(). I spent a bit of time making it responsive - so it's quite cool now. 

It of course replicates the Range Selector's every parameter so that it provides a pretty good visualizer for how it works.
