    i'm so very late to investigating this, but finally had a project where i needed to understand it, so thank you for this tutorial, as always. i hope all's well with you and yours, Sergei.
    for everyone asking about the slider controller in the "logos" comp, i cobbled together this expression (add to the opacity of each logo) and hope it will work. keep in mind that the controller null will be index 1, if it's at the top of your layer stack, so it won't yield any result
    selectLogo = thisComp.layer("Controller").effect("LogoBoxSlider")("Slider");
    logoIndex = index;
    if (selectLogo == logoIndex){
    100
    }else{
    0
    };
    lmk if that works for you? you'll have to change your null and slider names to match this, or change the expression to match your null and slider names

    As always great.
    If people aren't super confortable with expressions and strings they can: 1) control clic the text value and choose edit 2) create a new text layer and pick whip its text value

    • @joelpitrel3186
      @joelpitrel3186 6 років тому +3

      An other cool trick I use all the time with text in master properties is just add "name" as expression on it so it will use the layer's name as text so you don't even have to expand or collapse anything to change your text: just rename the layer

    Great tutorial, excellent work. I really love this system, now I spend more time creating than filling data and duplicating and replacing comps.
    But i have a rare issue here, every comp that I sent to Media Encoder take double render time than the previous one.
    Example:
    Comp 1= render time 5 minutes
    Comp 2= render time 10 minutes
    comp 3= render time 15 minutes
    And so on...
    The previous project version don't have this problem, all the renders, from any comp take 4 or 5 minutes.
    After I upgrade it whit this method and some expressions the issue start.
    Expressions that i use:
    -Trigger Layer opacity.
    - Rectangle scale follow text size.
    If somebody have any idea please help! Because I'm really happy whit the result of the project, really happy, but the render issue is a hell.
