  quick find corner

  Posted by Jack Parks on May 26, 2009 at 9:00 am

  Hello,

  I need a very simple expression.
  Just to find the top left corner of the layer / or the comp.
  Then an expression to find the lower right corner of the layer / or comp.

  Thanks

  For an expression applied to the layer itself, it would just be:

  toWorld([0,0])

  and

  toWorld(width,height)

  From other layers, it would be:

  L = thisComp.layer(“your layer”);
  L.toWorld([0,0])

  or

  L = thisComp.layer(“your layer”);
  L.toWorld([L.width,L.height])

  Unless you’re talking about text or shape layers. That’s a whole different deal.
