No. You would need to completely change your approach and have to use valueAtTime() to create your own controllable looping and it all would need to run in a continuous loop because of this old stinker (see the section about the wiggle() function):   https://www.motionscript.com/articles/speed-control.html   It's all doable, but not the way you currently have set it up and of course it will require different and more complex code.   Mylenium ...

You cannot merge layers in AE. If you really mean Photoshop ask your question there and provide some info about the nature of the document. Blanket statements along the lines of "It doesn't work." are utterly useless.   Mylenium ... View more

Could be anything from valueAtTime() based on a prototype animation to a simple linear()/ease() between the positions. Yould still need to run it in a loop to continuously compare the actual values and also determine the animation duration of the transition. Perfectly doable, but more than a five minute project. There's always some sort of caveat. In any case, check AEScripts.com. Perhaps one of the chart tools there can do it already.   Mylenium ... View more

There's all sorts of text and layer retiming scripts on AEScripts.com, so do a search there. Likewise, there's a quadrizillion "adaptive text timing" expressions out there whose code could be used as a reference for creating whatever script or own expression you need.   Mylenium ... View more

That's not possible, plain and simple. It's one of those weird situations where the simple mechanical principles of the cube make it nearly impossible to cleanly animate it in a computer. Even "serious" 3D apps struggle with this, because you need a gigazillion Nulls and constraints. You will have to split it up into segments and decouple the rotations every time, starting from the previous position. Depending on how you rotate you can get around six or seven rotations each time before things get wonky again.   Mylenium ... View more

You will need to add a conditional to account for values larger than 180 degrees. The internal math of the effect simply flips over. I also think you need to add 90 degrees/ Half Pi somewhere to offset the angles correctly.   Mylenium ... View more

logically when we're working on different ssds each one have full read/write available for each task   No. You are ignoring that your PCI bus has limited bandwidth also. Likewise, using more disks increases overhead for I/O commands, data collisions and sync writes. It's not that simple. On top of it SSDs don't work linear and have their own internal logic. That said, in the end it probably doesn't matter these days. Everything is extremely fast and you have trillions of read/ write cycles, so even the old argument of not wearing out drives doesn't really apply. Everything else is up to the specific configuration and hardware. Plugging a fast SSD into a ten year old motherboard of course will be slower since everything reverts to lower PCI modes and transfer rates compared to newer one...   Mylenium  ... View more

The syntax inside the parentheses is simply based on regular expressions. Letters like g, w, b, i etc. define search parameters/ filters, the actual strings are followed by that. Numbers would be filtered with \d as in "digits", stuff like $ defines the start of the search (string anchor) and would not be necessary for single words, but may be relevant for complex search patterns. There's a ton of other stuff. RegEx can be powerful, but is also hard to understand. I suggest you look it up in a generalized web search.   Mylenium ... View more

Standard answer: Update your graphics driver and configure it suitably.   Mylenium ... View more

All manner of text can be compared with string methods and RegEx. The rest is just a matter of  how to branch inside the conditionals and create loops plus likely one would use sliders rather than a gazillion text boxes and check if at any point a keyframe for the slider was created to register a penalty and what the slider value, e.g. representing the player's number was. It's all doable, just not the way you think it would be done. Of course @jason38868568aq16 's point is true - it would still be complicated and other methods might be more suitable and more flexible. Anyway, your convoluted explanation only makes my brain melt and doesn't give us any idea what the actual requirements for the graphics are like whether the penalties just count continuously or whether additional info like player names need to be included. You will need to be much more specific and provide a screenshot of your design and timeline layout before anyone even can think of cooking up even some basic expressions.   Mylenium ... View more

Changing the color of something simply requires masking a duplicate and applying whatever color correction effect. You cannot edit the bulge effect, but you can use Mesh Warp, Bezier Warp or even create a custom map for the Displacement Map effect.   Mylenium ... View more

You can't and that is that. Custom textures, for instance in Particle World, always change globally and thus tricks like staggering multiple texts in a pre-comp and having them sampled at different times won't work. Unless you want to hand-animate multiple layers or use expressions, which of course could still be possible if you don't need too many texts, you can't really avoid gettings some plug-in or script that can deal with this.   Mylenium ...

Not sure what you are asking. Gradients are simply not supported and you would have to fake the texture and the checkerboarding is simply due to lack of depth separation. Simply offset the layers ever so slightly. You may want to read the online help on what actualyl works and what doesn't.   Mylenium ... View more

The particle size is limited internally. A sprite cannot be larger than 200 x 200 pixels or something like that. Using such a large source texture makes absolutely no sense and of course stuff will be scaled down to fit. Simply use a smaller pre-comp for the texture.   Mylenium ... View more

Hard to believe that people would pay money for such Adobe Stock  garbage... The reference you presented is just poorly chopped together duplicates of the same image and then a crude displacement map is applied based on a few rough brush strokes to define the flow direction. The workflow is just fine, but of course you should invest much more time to make it look better.   Mylenium ... View more

Any "neon text" tutorial can give you enough clues. It's just a simple gradient, some layer styles, glow , possibly some track matte work with the outlines and fill on a duplicate of the source layer.   Mylenium ... View more

It could be a commercial "light wrap" effect from the Sapphire or Boris Continuum suites, but pretty much all of it can be created using plain AE with the Glow effect or blurred and masked duplicates of the source footage laid on top with blending modes like Screen. The real art here is tweaking the parameters and being subtle and that would apply to using plug-ins as well.   Mylenium ... View more

Well, it's old creaky software that was never designed to accommodate such stuff and then the old curse of software design gets you eventually: Do you keep things working as they always have or do you break stuff to fix other problems? It's a lose-lose game. It's not that nobody is aware of it, but "fixing" it would consume an awful lot of resources for little payoff.   Mylenium ... View more
