  toComp fromComp problem

  Posted by Arne Münch on June 21, 2017 at 4:43 pm

  I have this code on the position of a parented layer:

  delay = 0.2;
  p_delay = toComp (anchorPoint,time-delay)
  value + fromComp(p_delay);

  I was hoping to get the absolute position of that layer 0.2 seconds ago and convert this back to the actual layer space with fromComp.
  I want to have the parented layer in place where it would have been without expression 0.2 seconds before;
  But it doesn´t work. I guess its some self influence issue, because when toComp looks at the state 0.2 before, it involves the expression in its calculation.
  Is there a workaround?
  Thanks a lot for any help and please ask if my post wasn´t clear enough.
