  Parent effect to X-Axis of Anchor Point

  Posted by Topher Blair on March 25, 2017 at 12:19 am

  I need to pickwhip an effect specifically to the X-axis of the anchorpoint of the same layer. If I try using this code,
  thisLayer.anchorPoint
  then After Effects comes back with “array piece can’t expand to more than one value.”
  I assume that there’s a way around this, but I don’t know how to tell it to only look for one axis.

  Thanks!

  Try this:

  thisLayer.anchorPoint[0]

  Yep, that did it, thanks! Is there a similar code to parent to the y-axis?
