How to reveal an object from the other edge

[shayuw]

Hi!

I have a very simple comp with clouds moving from left edge to the right edge of the comp and I would like the clouds to keep showing without creating multiple copies of it.

There are 4 clouds (Ps files), with Time expression on Y position.

I wonder if there is an effect to make them reveal from say the right edge when they meets the left edge and that way that will keep showing?

I can use loopOut("cycle") but that way they will just disappear and reappear, so I guess there is a better way.

Thanks,

Tal

You can try it with the Offset effect. You can find it in Effects > Distort > Offset.

Great! Exactly what I needed.

Now it brings another question,

I would like to add a time*100 expression to the X value of "shift center to".

How can I separate the dimensions of "shift center to" and add time expression?

Thanks

Try:

[time*100 , value[1]]

This will allow you to change or keyframe the Y value while the expression animates the X.
