Someone help me PLEEEASE!!
many of AE I've looked... but you're the best..
your tutorials are very professional..
How can we learn AE easely..?
By the way, loved the new dark Background.
I have the same problem as Alvaro Figueroa when I put the preset on the particle point, a popup window appears with this message: the class 'efects' dont have any property even method with the name 'slider' expression disable.
What can I do?
Thank you very much!!!
Nice tutorials :) I realy like it!
Greatings from Holland.
I had the same problem of the preset ,but i fixed it!
It was because my after effects is in german ,so all the effects are in german ,too , but the preset needs the english sliders!
So what you have to change:
This the expression from the preset:
Radius = effect("Radius")("Slider//HERE NEEDS TO BE CHANGED INTO YOUR LANGUAGE!");
Speed = effect("Speed")("Slider//HERE NEEDS TO BE CHANGED INTO YOUR LANGUAGE!");
RotationOffset = effect("Rotation Offset")("Angle//HERE NEEDS TO BE CHANGED INTO YOUR LANGUAGE!");
//
center = [this_comp.width/2,this_comp.height/2,0];
radius = 200;
angle = time * Speed + RotationOffset;
x = Radius * Math.cos(degreesToRadians(angle));
z = Radius * Math.sin(degreesToRadians(angle));
add(center, [x,0,z]);
my expression now would look like this:
Radius = effect("Radius")("Schieberegler");
Speed = effect("Speed")("Schieberegler");
RotationOffset = effect("Rotation Offset")("Winkel");
//
center = [this_comp.width/2,this_comp.height/2,0];
radius = 200;
angle = time * Speed + RotationOffset;
x = Radius * Math.cos(degreesToRadians(angle));
z = Radius * Math.sin(degreesToRadians(angle));
add(center, [x,0,z]);
Hope you understand and that it fixes your problem!

RotationOffset = effect("Rotation Offset")("Angolo");
//
center = [this_comp.width/2,this_comp.height/2,0];
radius = 200;

To Everybody who has the Error after trying to active the Orbit Preset for the Null Object.
Thats because your Version thats currently running is not the english version. It has to be the english version because else the expressions are different and the preset cannot be activated.

Really great stuff, and way to use dark grey, instead of black ;)
indonesia is watcing you!!..
