good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.As a Chinese,I have to Speak highly of you!
by Jero 06/13/2009
For the people who have trouble with the "Slider", you have to open "After Effects" in english mode, or replace the expression to your native language. Go to the "After Effects" folder and go to "Languages" and open "Adobe After Effects E". Worked for me!

And thanks so much for this tutorial and all tutorials because they are truly amazing!
by pupil 06/11/2009
Your tutorials are really out of this world and unbelieveable. I really love the way you speak and way u share things, that makes me feel like ur my own family member. At last Ur My SUPER BEST teacher.

ángulo = tilda on top of the letter (A) Angulo
by anglospan 12/16/2008
If you have a spanish version of AF change the following, it works perfectly,
-Original expression=

Radius = effect("Radius")("Slider");
Speed = effect("Speed")("Slider");
RotationOffset = effect("Rotation Offset")("Angle");

//

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]);

Spanish AF users =

Radius = effect("Radius")("Deslizador");
Speed = effect("Speed")("Deslizador");
RotationOffset = effect("Rotation Offset")("Ángulo");

//

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]);
