  some expressions do not acknowledge when a layer changes name

  Posted by David Cabestany on March 3, 2014 at 7:30 pm

  I renamed a null which has a couple of slider controls applied to it and all the layers that have expressions connected to it acknowledged the name change but one, it’s no big deal really because I can go inside the expressions and update the name manually but I’m intrigued as to why this particular layer wasn’t able to update itself, it’s not locked or anything out of the ordinary, in fact it’s the same expression applied to the same property in all layers.

  I renamed the null from yDist to exp

  Any ideas?
  Thanks.

  dist=thisComp.layer("yDist").effect("dist")("Slider");
d=thisComp.layer("yDist").effect("delay")("Slider")

  x=transform.position[0];
y=thisComp.layer(index+1).transform.position.valueAtTime(time-d)[1];
z=transform.position[2];
[x,y-dist*2.8,z];
