Tutorial: Use Expressions to Speed up Text in AE

Michele Yamazaki — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 16:02:53 +0000

Harry Frank has a video up at Studio Daily about Using expressions to speed up lower third creation in After Effects. He explains how to create a document that links to the text document with corresponding scene numbers… a very cool way to speed up simple but tedious work. It’s not difficult, but this is definitely not something you’d figure out yourself, unless you’re a javascript programmer, or a whiz with expressions.

Also, Harry’s Complete training for Trapcode Particular from Class on Demand is half price this week. (DVD | Download), during our One Day Sale. Also, if you haven’t heard, Trapcode Suite is 50% off today only!

From Harry’s Gray Machine: “‘This is a great compilation of many Trapcode Particular projects that I’ve posted over the past few years at AE Freemart and Trapcode People. There’s lots of ideas and creative uses of Particular in here, so take a look for yourself!”

Plug-In Post Q+A: Tradcode’s Peder Norrby

Michele Yamazaki — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 04:46:29 +0000

Michele Yamazaki, Peder Norrby and Ko Maruyama (and Jim G. hiding in the back)

Studio Daily interviews Peder Norrby, Trapcode’s founder and developer. Read the interview here.

Peder says, “There is also a business-perspective: our goal is for our customers to wow their clients and make more money using the products than the cost of the products themselves, so it is turns out to be a very good investment for them. Good investments are always popular, and news of them tend to spread.” So, that’s his secret!
