Sergey, its great format and timing. thank you lot 💛🙏💙
This is the thing I was looking for ! Thanks Sergei !!
Dude! I needed this exact trick today, talk about timing! Thanks for sharing buddy, you rock!
genius . keep going bro. one of the best video ever
What a good channel you have, thank U. BTW your scripts are excellent!
Wow amazing! I used to solve this with layer styles but it came with it's own limitations.
Thanks Sergi!! this is
just what I was looking for -- although I did adjust for scale as mentioned in another comment
Just what I needed!
Bro, you are the best. Thnx!
Thanks for the answers. I've been looking for a long time to adjust the l
Amazing tutorial man really helped out!
i really apreciate your help with dowloanding this software
Thanks, this helped me a lot
Thank you so much, you saved my life
I was pre-comping like a maniac, now there is an easier way! thanks so much!
its good tutorial but seems it dosent work with 3d text
@@yt_LINOOX 3d text you probably have to add 3 coordinates instead of 2
@@sunsetpark_fpv can you explain it more? what should i type
Works well!! DANKEEE
my dude, thank you very much
Guys it really works, I checked
awesome
Omg this is SO useful, plus I didn't even know "s+s" shortcut existed and I needed it so much! Thank you, really ♥
I'm glad you found this useful, Julián. Thanks for giving it a try!
Your videos are always helpful.Thank you
Is there a way to apply gradients to individual letters?
works gj
Can you use this expression for layer style? Anytime I use layer style and change the scale or position it affect the style.
Very informative 👍, please sir tell me how to learn after effects code.
I was trying for almost 2 hours , and now get the way.
How do you add the gradient ramp on a 3D shape layer?????
how about, do a solid layer, put the ramp on it and then parent to the text layer which also serves as the alpha matte? no code needed and very visible what's going on. also less clicks
Thanks for the tip but it gets messy if we are rotating the object!! Anyone has a solution to that?
use a null object to rotate the object
If Adobe was a sane company, there must be a checkbox for that.
Hey! So what's the benefit of this vs. using a layer style?
Seems like a lot of work when you can just use the gradient layer style. I guess with this method you can place the gradient points where you want but you could also use the gradient tool on the text and then precomp.
I think the benefit might be the 4 Color Gradient which unfortunately is not present in Layer Style or in Gradient Fill.
layer styles can behave strangely with text animators and certain other effects
gg wp!
That's one way, or you can just make text, pre-compose it, then add the gradient ramp effect on the pre-comp and it will do the same thing. :) A lot easier that way.
I know this idea could be crazy and all. But why couldn't AE just add a button on the side where it says bind with the layer or something. xD.
no expressions required with layer style > gradient overlay
unfortunately, layer styles behave oddly with text animators and certain other effects
@@philipames8583 unfortunately AE behaves oddly when you open it!!!😉
it is not working in 3d
So Adobe can't add a "lock to position" checkbox on each producer point that adds these lines for you? Pffttt
This should just be a checkbox switch in the gradient ramp effects... Thanks for nothing Adobe.
Right? For some fcking reason only prp have this but not ae like whats the point?
Hi Sergey, your code doesn’t work if you resize the font size. I think the ultimate solution (even scaling the font size) is to use the bounding box (top and bottom) coordinates in the toComp() function. Set both Start Of Ramp and End Of Ramp values to zero so you can use these values as a manual offset, if you need to. Then type these expressions into their corresponding properties.
thisLayer.toComp([value[0], thisLayer.sourceRectAtTime().top + value[1]]);
thisLayer.toComp([value[0], thisLayer.sourceRectAtTime().top + thisLayer.sourceRectAtTime().height + value[1]]);
The gradient stays put if you move, rotate, scale the layer, even if you scale the font size. That’s it, no extra nulls needed. With a Colorama effect you could map all kinds of color to that black and white gradient ramp.
I've got a couple of AE videos uploaded to my channel. They mostly deal with the text engine and Expression Selectors to generate dynamic bounding boxes for each individual line of text on a multi-line text layer. Have a look when you find some free time. Again, thank you!
specifically referring to multiline text, i'm trying to figure out how to always align "start" with the top and "end" with the bottom, no matter how many lines of text? possible?
thank you! this is helpful!
This saved me when I tried rotation and the ramp points were spinning all over the place, super useful, thank you!
This is far more helpful. Thanks Ilir.
What a legend. You just saved me time.
thisLayer.toComp([0, 0]) + thisProperty.value
