In this episode I will explain the loopOut(), loopIn(), loopOutDuration(), and the loopInDuration() expressions. We’ll learn how they function with video footage as well as how they can work when applied to animated properties.

This two-part presentation gives a behind the scenes look into two different building projection projects – a small scale production for New Year’s Eve in Melbourne, Australia, and a large scale event for the Alfa Bank in Russia – the largest building projection ever staged to date.

I show you how to read the values it outputs and how to use those values to drive the intensity of a lens flare.

Sometimes your layers have to move erratically, or even linear, but you just want your midpoint layer to just stay in the middle without doing math and hand keyframing it the whole way. Well this expression should help you out. Includes a 2D and 3D layer explanation.

Ideal for something like 2D flat text that follows a 3D tracked point in a scene.

All of this is controlled via a master control null for ease of use.
