    hello all,

    i’ve got a comp where a 2d text layer moves towards camera using scale keyframes… is there a way to convert the scale keyframes to 3d z position keyframes?

    thanks in advance

    i’ve got a few comps doing different things.

    comp 1. scales from 1000% to 100%.
    comp 2. scales from 100% to 0%.

    does that help?

    had a feeling there wouldn’t be a short cut. i’ve only got about 150 layers to match… i had hoped there might be a plugin / script that could handle it.

    thank

    You might try in the expressions forum. I could write you up a ease expression that could take could take info from scale and apply it to your z position, but if you truly want to convert scale to position it’s going to take a little more math than I know.
