Thanks for this kind of tutorials Sergey. Very useful🙏
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.

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
Brilliant stuff Sergei!
Дякую Вам за дуже корисний тутор!
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!

Amazing!
soone who does not get complex instructions like..At all, tNice tutorials was simple and clear for to understand. Thanks dude.
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 :)
Thanks for tutorial
It worked love you!
good job male, thanks!
Thanx Man , good video

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"
and thank you for your effort. If you can make a video about Lo-Fi soft, that would be aweso!
Thats some deeeep JavaScript/ expressions knowledge. I wonder if this was possible with the old Ae expressions system…
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
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.
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?
Regardless of how important the information is
If I want to save my project in soft soft, do I have to buy it?
@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?
this made sense until the arrow function. Is "item" a variable you created and then modified and re-output using the arrow function?
thanks for great tutorial, but is it possible to make mask with rounded edges using this method?

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.
bruh i just got it yesterday and it looks like spacesNice tutorialp controls thx for your 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.
