    Hi
    i need some help with this one.
    I’m using the Border Line expressions from Dan’s site https://www.motionscript.com/expressions-lab-ae65/border-lines.html.I’ve build up the project like he did.In addition to this example i’ve placed a footage in the middle of the Master layer with the Circle effect applied to it.
    What i basically would like to achieve now is when i increase the radius of the circle,the Master layer’s width and hight should also increase.
    The master layer’s scale +position keyframes shouln’t get affected.
    Thx in advance

    I guess I don’t understand why you don’t just change the scale of the “master” layer, and everything scales up like it sounds like you want (if I understand correctly)? Is there a reason you don’t want scale keyframes on the master layer, just curious.

    “when i increase the radius of the circle,the Master layer’s width and hight should also increase.”

    Does that mean you want Dan’s Border Lines to stay on the Master Layer’s edge like they do in his set up, or to change independently from their borders?

    Hi
    thanks for your reply
    [yikesmikes] “Does that mean you want Dan’s Border Lines to stay on the Master Layer’s edge like they do in his set up”

    Yes

    In order to make it easier for me I set some keyframes for the radius I then pickwhiped the master’s scale property with the radius.The only problem now is that the circle footage does not remain within the Master layer(border lines)!But the circle footage should always remain within the master layer without touching the border lines.
    I thought that’d be an easy one but it’s obviously a bit tricky for me
