Thanks for taking the time to record the video. One tinny suggestion though. The code to generate the mask as a bounding box is a little too long. Here is a 2-line version: a = thisLayer.sourceRectAtTime(); createPath([[a.left,a.top+a.height], [a.left+a.width, a.top+a.height], [a.left+a.width,a.top], [a.left,a.top]]); Works automatically with any type of text alignment.
Wow, this is huge. I'm looking since forever for a way to realize this exact kind of text animation on the single layer only (without the need for an extra matte layer I mean) and fully procedurally. Thanks a lot for this!
I love this video!! It really helped me out a lot - i was stuck and it was exactly what I was looking for. Just a quick note on your javascript: ideally, it's best practice to use var or let instead of const, since const is intended for variables that won't change. JS is letting you use const here because you're changing values inside of arrays/objects. So while this is working for now, it's not best practice and makes the code a little harder to read :)
Great expression! It's very convenient to use! One question is that if I have 3 lines text, how to rewrite the expression and create a mask for each line without cutting some bottom parts of the character like "g, y, j"
@ukramedia Thanks for this. I was wondering about more complex shapes such as a hectagon rectangle like pointed left and right edge of a box? Something like this shape. How to do this? Could you help?
When use this code as your then say error variable name expected Plz Help const { height,width, left, top } = sourceRectAtTime(); const topL = [0,0]; const topR = [width, 0]; const bttmR = [width, height]; const bttmL = [0, height]; const pathPoints = [topL, topR, bttmR, bttmL]; createPath(pathPoints);
Hello. I tried to replicate this but I get an error on line 2: const { height, width, left, top } = sourceRectAtTime(layerMidPoint); - error says: Variable name expeted. Any suggestion? Thank you for sharing.
i have a pretty limited knowledge of expressions, but I believe that 'const' is just a randomly assigned name for a variable that he's designated in his code. if i understand correctly you could also use 'var' or anything your heart desires so long as it isn't an already existing property.
My name is Ashish Roy. Hope you are well. I am Bangladeshi. I understand English very little. Still I try to learn by watching your videos. I don't understand "to comp". So I request you to help me by making the video of "To Comp"

Great one!
Mic drop. I love seeing other people’s solution.
you are a life savior
WoW, you are amazing...
Thank you for this. Do you know by any chance how to generate masks for a multi line text? So each line has it's own mask
many thanks
I use smart mask, but now i know how it work, thank you Sergei
I am very glad that I stumbled upon your video

Thanks for tutorial
Outstanding Sergei!❤ Thank you very much indeed for sharing!
Thank you for your kind words, Catalin!
@@ukramedia Anytime! You are more than welcome!
Thats some deeeep JavaScript/ expressions knowledge. I wonder if this was possible with the old Ae expressions system…
I ca back to soft after about 10 years when I was using soft soft 10 and for its best program Ive seen in fact its also simpliest one
Great expression! It's very convenient to use! One question is that if I have 3 lines text, how to rewrite the expression and create a mask for each line without cutting some bottom parts of the character like "g, y, j"
Love this! Thanks for sharing, Sergei (:
Thanks, CJ! I hope things are well on your end.
yes
Regardless of how important the information is
and thank you for your effort. If you can make a video about Lo-Fi soft, that would be aweso!
@ukramedia Thanks for this. I was wondering about more complex shapes such as a hectagon rectangle like pointed left and right edge of a box? Something like this shape. How to do this? Could you help?
its actually useful :D
😁
When use this code as your then say error variable name expected
Plz Help
const { height,width, left, top } = sourceRectAtTime();
const topL = [0,0];
const topR = [width, 0];
const bttmR = [width, height];
const bttmL = [0, height];
const pathPoints = [topL, topR, bttmR, bttmL];
createPath(pathPoints);
Is there a video teaching to create an animations using all your tools?
I want to buy your bundle but I can't find a way how to use them together.
thanks for great tutorial, but is it possible to make mask with rounded edges using this method?
Yes, I'll have to make a tutorial on that.
this made sense until the arrow function. Is "item" a variable you created and then modified and re-output using the arrow function?
100% I make the sickest soft in my head all day long then the mont I open a DAW...
Aaahhh thooooo
Thank you for tNice tutorials video. I just downloaded soft soft and I was so, so lost. I couldn't even figure out how to make a soft. Your video
how do you get all the tutorial and samples on the left. mine doesnt have sNice tutorialt
Hey, I just wanted to check briesofty if there is a way for to import a new soft into the program, for example softs or sotNice tutorialng that
just cutting to ut already open
If I want to save my project in soft soft, do I have to buy it?
once i buy the basic version of soft soft can i upgrade to producer for 100 dollars or do i have to buy it new for 0?
Did they finnnnnallly allow expressions on masks?!
Yup, they did.
@@ukramedia unbelievable it took this long! That's been a battle for a while with character rigs
hell yeah. gonna make so sNice tutorialtty electronic soft and live up to my destiny as a trans woman LET'S GOOOOO
Hello. I tried to replicate this but I get an error on line 2: const { height, width, left, top } = sourceRectAtTime(layerMidPoint);
- error says: Variable name expeted.
Any suggestion? Thank you for sharing.
Im getting same error - did you figure it out?

Why const instead of var? What's the diference?
You can learn more about it here: www.freecodecamp.org/news/var-let-and-const-whats-the-difference/
More slots in user presets for Smart Text Animator please 🙏🏻😁 9 is not enough 😞 ... Cheers 😁
Thanks for the feedback and for using my tools! I appreciate it a lot.
@@ukramedia Best tools ever ! ♥ I am so proud of your work and me investing in having a copy of the smart tools.
hows it going
bruh i just got it yesterday and it looks like spacesNice tutorialp controls thx for your help
what is "const"? Why have i never seen that before in AE expression tutorials/reference material?
i have a pretty limited knowledge of expressions, but I believe that 'const' is just a randomly assigned name for a variable that he's designated in his code. if i understand correctly you could also use 'var' or anything your heart desires so long as it isn't an already existing property.

Thanks for your feedback, Asish. I'll see what I can do.
👍💖

TNice tutorials is too
Studying how to use soft soft is far more important than studying for my exams lmao
Mlk, se pá que o canal foi hackeado
handso
progress. Now, two months later, I am editing for nice tutoet League teams and players, and making money off it. Keep your heads up and
unfortunately the mask still follow the text
comnts, even though they paid for their versions.
sa
them "happen". Only tNice tutorialng I can do is click on kick snare and Nice tutorial-hats lol
Not very helpful for a complete beginner like me ☹️
Thanx Man , good video
