  • A probably simple expression: Audio keyframes linked to the Y scale degree (Trapcode Sound Keys)

    I am still a learner when it comes to expressions and only recently have I started looking at Trapcode’s Sound Keys, it is very easy to use but I have always been a person that wants to know more and more and now I started wondering what expression should be used for this:

    You’re easily able to pickwip an output (from Sound Keys) to the scale of an object you’ve made, but that means that both width and height will be scaled. Now if I only wanted that the output reacts with the height of my object what expression should I use for that?
    By that meaning that a standard pickwip to scale does both X and Y percentages, but what to do when you want to link it on scale but only want to to respond Y percentage and leave the X out of it

    Like this:

    temp = thisComp.layer(“Black Solid 1”).effect(“Sound Keys”)(“Output 1”);
    [value[0], temp]
