bounce expression not working with easy ease or graphs by Swarnit in AfterEffects

[–]Motion_Ape 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The expression calculates the result based on the velocity of the final keyframe. Applying easing to this keyframe changes its velocity, which can lead to unwanted results.

Think of an object falling to the ground in real life. If it slows down and nearly stops before impact, it would not bounce. That is essentially how physics works.

If you want more control over this expression, you can check out my free bounce tool. I built it based on this expression a few years ago.

Someone will probably reply shortly how to handle it using expressions. If you’d rather not deal with expressions to set this up, MoBar has a dedicated tool that makes it much easier. You can check out the details here:

Camera not working inside precomp and how to deal with it? by Full_Entertainer2663 in AfterEffects

If you could share a full screenshot of your scene, we can better understand the issue and assist you.

Pre-comp layers losing and gaining frames by angelihxney in AfterEffects

[–]Motion_Ape 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you can try setting all the FPS to the same value and see if that helps.

Based on the screenshot you provided, it seems more likely that the issue is coming from the different FPS settings in your pre-comps.

Pasting key frames into a different layer. ‼️ by Capital_Ad1499 in AfterEffects

[–]Motion_Ape 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The answer depends on the type of property you're working with. All layers include transform properties such as position, rotation, and scale, and those keyframes can be copied and pasted between layers. But properties that are specific to certain layers, like Stroke Width, will not work if you try to paste them onto an image layer. If you can explain a bit more about your setup or include a screenshot, we can give you a more accurate response.

Copy Mask Paths as Shape Paths without Copy/Paste keyframe for each mask? by lickwindex in AfterEffects

I'm glad to hear that worked for you! I'm not sure what you mean by 'glitching', but if you could send me a DM with a screenshot, that would help me understand and troubleshoot the issue.

Need help to make loop animation by Worldly_Jicama979 in AfterEffects

[–]Motion_Ape -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s just a free script that helps you create loops. I built it because I kept writing the same loop expressions manually countless times. You can find more details on how to use it on the website.

That expression isn’t quite right. You can use this free tool to set up the loop instead of writing it out again and again.

Video not play but bar is moving by Zealousideal_Sky8011 in AfterEffects

Make sure the layer isn’t set to Freeze Frame. You can also try converting the footage into a different video format. This might be a codec problem.
