Hi all,
i would like to animate a text+ node with a integer number animated and a arbitrary string in the same node .
I added an user control named "Longueur" (type:number ) and i can animate it,
i added an other user control named "userText" (type:Text)
but i can t find a way to concatenate the two in one expression in the styled Text parameter
my expression is : Longueur,userText
i tried with ";" but i does not work neither.
Have you any ideas to solve this ?

Hi,
you can use the "expression" option in the context menu on the "Styled Text" field to set it to a Lua expression.

The expression will be evaluated whenever the tool is rendered and the result used as the styled text.

As an example, you could set the expression to:

Code: Select all

"Current frame " .. time

to see a simple frame counter.

cheers

ok thanks ,
Is there a lua or python documentation for fusion ?

New docs are in the works, very close.

Hi Rony,

How close is the new documentation to be released? Looking to do a few things for the time being via python.

- Open an existing comp.
- Render the Savers in the comp

What are the python equivalents to do this? Can you point me to any existing documentation that might help? Any help is appreciated.

Thank you,
