im sure i did the steps...the bars wont go up when i "animate it up" :/ help anyone?
OK I scanned the comments and I don't see that anybody else ran into this, maybe I did something wrong... when I pasted the expression for Time Remap (with Bar Value at 100 and Percentage animated to go from 0 to 100), the animated bar graph clipped jumped to the beginning of the clip. If this happens to you, you'll see it because all of a sudden your masked area looks all funny... that's the masked area showing the beginning of the animation.
The fix was to offset the final value computed by the expression, by 40 frames (the length of the opening camera move). But wait! You don't just add 40... expressions want seconds not frames. So add 1.667 (40 frames divided by the clip's frame rate of 24):
(InputVal*Length*thisComp.frameDuration*ratio)+1.667
or
(InputVal*Length*thisComp.frameDuration*ratio)+(40/24)
hope that helps somebody that finds the same issue I had. I feel like I screwed something up because I don't see that anybody else had this problem.
Hi Andrew, I´m a big fan of your work. For some reason i cant get the percentage to work correcly. i dont no what it is i'm pretty shure i'm following all the steps correctly.
By the way, if you don't have a 3D editing program you can use Blender. It's free and easy to use. Get it at www.blender.org. Avaliable for Windows, Linux and Mac. I use it, and it's really powerful. I reccomend it.
Well that was a good video, i take it i cant link the values to a mysql database so when the values change in the database then so does the graph! sorry am new to it all :(
You are able to do the masking a using object channels and outputting from 3dsmax as a RLA sequence file
Then you can just select which channel you would like to display and it will mask it for you. might involve a little more setting up but after that you wont need to do any masking of your 3d boxes
This tutorial just got me out of a very tight spot with a client who wanted around 70 animated bar graphs that could be changed at very short notice... in three days. Thanks SO MUCH! haha the potential for this technique is unreal too. cheers
hey Andrew great tutorial. I encountered one issue and i was hoping i could get some guidance. When I sync the numbers to the graph some of the numbers have decimals place. Is there a workaround for that?
I'm very glad because I found this amazing page to learn AE.... Thank you very much Andrew, and I wish you all the successfully with this fantastic job.
I used this tutorial to display overtime expenditure and the conference room requested a replay of the graphics, it was hilarious, I gave them your website after the meeting !

Your comedy made the tutorial that much more enjoyable - thank you!
I'm new to After Effects and I can already tell I'm going to be viewing your tutorials frequently. Well done!
Cheers!
