After Effects unexpected error
Hello,
I am trying to use sourceRect to align text on Essential Graphics Template but it keep resulting unexpected error. Please could someone help me out? Thank you in advanced.
Below is the script
a = thisComp.layer(“TEXT”).sourceRectAtTime();
height = a.height;
width = a.width;
top = a.top;
left = a.left;
if (thisComp.layer(thisComp.layer(“Null 1”).effect(“ALIGNMENT”)(“Menu”)==1)
{
x = left;
}
else if (thisComp.layer(“Null 1”).effect(“ALIGNMENT”)(“Menu”)==2)
{
x = left + width / 2;
}
else {
x = left + width;
}
[x,top + height]
Regards
Obed

One thing I see is that this line appears to be messed up:
if (thisComp.layer(thisComp.layer("Null 1").effect("ALIGNMENT")("Menu")==1)Also, you might have issues using height and width as variable names, because those are layer attributes.
Beyond that, what is the error message you’re seeing?

as dan already mentioned:
if (thisComp.layer(thisComp.layer(“Null 1”).effect(“ALIGNMENT”)(“Menu”)==1)
–> if (thisComp.layer(“Null 1”)
and maybe not really a problem but i would suggest to add some spaces to the condition:
(“Menu”) == 1 -
Hi, Dan and Manuel. Thank you very much. It’s a shame I have been struggling with this and I didn’t notice it.
