  layer to follow right edge of a scaling layer

  Posted by Riccardo Sinti on October 23, 2013 at 9:22 pm

  Hi all,

  I need a way to attach a layer to the right edge of a layer that I am scaling in X.
  It is a shape layer that I am scaling so I think there is an issue with getting the width vale of a shape layer so what ever expression might need an offset I could link to a slider effect.

  Thanks

  try this and see if it works…

  create a null, parent it to the shape layer and position it on the right edge of the shape layer.

  then try this expression on the position property of the layer that needs to stick the edge of the shape layer:

  target = thisComp.layer(“Null 1”);
  fromComp(target.toComp(target.anchorPoint));
