effect()index out of range, expression disabled!!!!!!!!!
Hello, I’m trying to use an expression to copy the color from a layer and represent it to another. I’ve tried replacing “index-1” with “1” and it works, but I’m using a gradient as the parent layer, and the colors won’t switch, it remains the same color. What should I do?
Thanks!
samplePoint = thisComp.layer("Gradient").effect(index-1)("Point");
sampleRadius = [10,10];
thisComp.layer("Gradient").sampleImage(samplePoint,sampleRadius); -

I don’t understand why you’re using “index-1” in the first place. “Index” will return your layer number, but you have it referencing your effect. so if the expression-ed layer is, say, layer 50, then “index-1” will return 49, which (as I understand things) will look for the 49th effect in the layer called “Gradient.” This only makes sense if you have lots of effects applied to the Gradient layer. Is that what you had in mind?
I guess I don’t completely understand how your layers/effects are organized right now….
