Resize an animated Square Shape Layer using sliders
Hello, I’m trying to create a template for a project where I can resize a square shape layer with rounded corners on multiple comps and adjust it so it fits around other elements on the screen.
My idea was to have the X & Y size parameters parented to slider controls so that I can adjust the size that way, the problem is I already have an animation of the square growing into its final shape and If I parent the values to the sliders they overwrite the animation keyframes.
My question is if there’s a way to change the size of my square shape layer so that it keeps the animation I already have?
I tried using sourceRectAtTime(); expression to parent the dimensions to another square Shape Layer and it works, but that also overwrites the animation keyframes.

I’ve created an example of what I’m trying to do, as it might make it easier to understand what I’m trying to accomplish 🙂

Im getting an error in your project, so I dont fully understand, but it sounds like you want the box final position height and width to be controlled by the sliders. I had a project like this that i had to turn into a template. except that my final position was controlled by source rect at time from various layers, so i had a lot of if statements to determine which layer would drive width and height. it was a long process and im not sure you want the same headache, so ill ask a question.
could you parent this box to a null and put the expression sliders controling the null, one slider for width one for height ?, see attached.
