Matrix Binary Raining Code with a single text layer | After Effects Tutorial · Easy

Use text animators and basic expressions to create a binary code raining setup similar to the one you see in the Matrix!

🔴 Project file

⚠️If the AEP has expression errors, the problem you might be having is because you are using 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁 for the Expression Engine. You got to go File →Project Settings → Expressions → change to 𝗝𝗮𝘃𝗮𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁

⚠️Also, if the AEP opens with nothing showing in Composition panel, please wait at least a minute for After Effects to render because the expressions take a while to load. Alternatively, use the "textMatrix" composition as that loads the fastest.

⚠️The "blank" file problem could be due to the low system specs which were not able to handle the heavy expression calculations hence showing a blank project with no composition or layer inside. — Contributed by Zohaib Malik

here is the code:
seed = effect("seed")("Slider");
n = effect("n")("Slider");

m = b = ''

for(i=0;i<n;i++){
b = Math.round(random())
m += b;

}

Followed along and it took me a while, but really enjoyed this video, thank you!!

Who has their timeline in a square window at the top? Like a scociopath XD (Great tutorial, exactly what I was looking for!)

@NoSleepCreative My computer isn't amazingly fast so I stop before the 3D the text. when the text was 3D it wouldn't run.
Also I came to this video because I'm working on an image that I wanted lines of 1s and 0s in but didn't want to type them out.
Thanks this was helpful

Thank you, very helpful, but I need to know how can I repeat pattern of the binary code? Can I use Loop out? If yes, where should I add this expression?

[gokselaga]

how to change each character at random from 1 to 0. pls help

[justanotherlazydigitalartist]

Posso estar errado, mas as pessoas que têm a paciência e o conhecimento de concluir esse tutorial, não precisam deste tutorial.

Hi thanks for the tutorial.. what if, we need to change to specific nos like 007 or letters ABC. Thanks again

[Laura.Luminary]

I made it to the part where you switched from horizontal text to vertical, and then all my text disappeared. It seems to come back if I switch back to horizontal. Any ideas what went wrong?

[thetaplusacademy]

it says that i'm missing fonts. what extra fonts do I need to install?

The cycle is running too fast. How can you slow down the random generation time (1.0)

[binaryatlas]

do you have this project available for download anywhere? Mine is just not turning out and would like to compare.

Great tutorial! Does anyone know how to make the text rain UP instead of down?

[tomwilliamson]

Very interesting (and a little perplexing). I want to run it with the numbers changing via the seed, but would like to slow down the rate of change (instead of every frame). Doable within this framework?

[EmpathHands]

as soon as i add seedramdom part it stops working all together even if use sliders

[alrxcnder]

Can u make more Mir and Element 3D tutorials?

[Luludanslegame]

it's not working, i buy it. But no location when i open
the project

[wareva]

I want each character to change at random from 1 to 0. Any thoughts? anyone, please?

Hi, I liked your tutorial. I also request that gumroad file isn't opening. Kindly re-upload it.

[bojacksimpson]

Thanks!!! I sent you a coffee 😉 It would be great if you had a twitter account.
