expression question (how do you say “the above layer”? )
I would like to reference the layer above, I would like to say: “take the scale of the layer above and add 4”. (whithout referencing the specific layer)
anyone who has any idea?Jakob

Hi,
This would do it…
thisComp.layer(index-1).scale+4
index = the current layer. So index-1 is the layer above it. And index+1 would be the layer below.

I tested this out and noticed it only worked on the X value so here is an expression that would work on both x and y scale values…
Xscale=thisComp.layer(index-1).scale[0]+4;
Yscale=thisComp.layer(index-1).scale[1]+4;
[Xscale,Yscale]Hope this helps,
Lars
