Adobe After Effects CC 2023: Fix: Hand-Drawn Effect Stopping At 22 Seconds
Description:
This tutorial will show you how to fix the issue of the animation stopping after a certain amount of time when using using the Time Expression + Turbulent Displace in Adobe After Effects CC 2023.
Note:
This fix will work for the Hand-Drawn Effect or anytime you are using the Time Expression on the Evolution Property of Turbulent Express (such as Line Boil Effect) and the animation stops before the end of the Timeline
The Issue:
The Evolution Options has a limit of 91 Evolutions and when that number is reached by the Time Expression, the animation stops. The higher the number of time*expression, the faster the number of Evolutions will reach 91 and stop the animation.
The Fix (Snippet):
%32768
Example:
Add the snippet at the end of the Time Expression…time*1500%32768
