Change layer visibility trought composition
Hi guys, i’m sorry if my post will be confusing for some of you but i’m newbie in the script world.
I was making a soccer lineup template for a soccer league and, given since I have to do the graphic for its entire duration, I was wondering if there is any chance to speed up the entire process with expressions.
What I would know is if there is the possibility to set a layer visibility trought the composition.
I try to explain it better:
I have a COMP with the FOOTAGE of many players set to UNSEEN
There is any chance to apply an expression to the COMP for seeing only certain layer?
In my case I’d like to see a footage depending by a text lineup.
For example i’d like if my Comp would make visible the layer that have the same name of the text i would write in the lineupNAME 1 —-> Comp with NAME 1 layer set to visible
NAME 2 —-> Comp with NAME 2 layer set to visible
….Alternatively, there is a chance to set the opacity of a footage depending by text source?
For example NAME 1 with 100% opacity if the text source is NAME 1 or 0% for any other source. -

You can’t apply an expression to a comp, but you could apply an expression like this to the opacity of each footage layer:
if (name == thisComp.layer(“Player Name”).text.sourceText) 100 else 0

Thank you.
It worked, but to display the footage the name should be the same of the footage including the file extension or I should modify one by one every single footage’s name.Looking around in this forum I found a better solution with this expression:
txt = thisComp.layer("TEXT1").text.sourceText
if (txt == "PLAYER NAME") 100 else 0Maybe this can help someone in future.
