Rather than aligning layers on the points, I noticed that placing them between the points actually gives a neat way to control horizontal constraints in After Effects. 🤯

Ok I need this one

François Lefebvre1 year ago

Honestly, nothing fancy here! I just used the position values of the points (with points() ) to place the layers halfway between them. Then used length() to calculate the distance between the two points, which gives the final size of each layer. That's it.

This looks cool. May I ask how it is done since I am looking for more advanced animations in AE.

Haha! Take a look at this tutorial ( That’s the version where I align the layers directly on the points. In this new one I’m placing them between the points instead.

Playing with toComp() to offset anchor points. It makes the circle layers pack toward the mask center, kinda like the Apple Watch menu inside After Effects.

“I was hot-headed as a kid, and then as I've grown I've just understood that getting too high or getting too low especially in competition doesn't really help me. The way I see it, techs is points. And I don’t ever want to give the team points because I can’t control my emotions, so I just control them. It’s that simple to me.” Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on not picking up technical fouls.

I don’t know if anyone is expecting Kamala Harris to actually win in Iowa, but the fact that Trump’s lead has been cut to 4 points after leading Biden by 18 points in June, speaks volumes about the state of the race. This will not be a close election, folks.

Yes, they are coming for the birth control pill. I’ve noticed that a # of Christian Right influencers characterize it as unsafe, perhaps paving the way for the FDA to withdraw its approval of it in the event a Republican president gives them control of the FDA. See Project 25. 1/

Bill Simmons and Nick Wright believe the Heat deserve some ‘karma points’ from Adam Silver to get them a top 4 pick in the draft lottery: “They haven’t picked higher than 10 since 2008. They did get the decision with LeBron. I think they’re still dining on the karma points from that…. Bam scoring 83 on the tanking wizards, I think they won Karma points for that.. If they get in the top 4 it’s because of Bam’s 83” (Via Bill Simmons)

For those saying the Akita points shouldn't be nerfed, just look at this clip. Over 50k points made within 20 seconds off a double points on round 24. That's way more than any other gun could make in that time. It's also way more than any gun could in the older games. But as I said in the tweet, I don't think it should *just* be nerfed, Pack-a-Punch prices should also be decreased alongside it. Which would balance it out. People wouldn't feel required to use the Akita anymore.

Merino on a defining moment in Arsenal’s Premier League season: “I know there was one game that we dropped points, Wolves away. That was a very low point in the season where we got them and then we let three points go away. I think that situation gave us a lot of strength after that game.”

🚨 HOLY CRAP! CNN is SHOCKED after learning Republican approval rating SKYROCKETS during Chuck Schumer's shutdown...BRUTAL. "It's actually UP 5 POINTS since pre-shutdown! The Republican brand HAS IMPROVED!" 🤯 "Up 8 POINTS among Independents!" "Up 12 points with the base!" "[The shutdown] is helping them with folks in the middle!" If I'm Chuck, I am TERRIFIED. We all saw this coming. Throw in the towel, Schumer. You're toast. Pummeling American families was a BAD IDEA.
