  • Expression that can read the framerate of a nested comp.

    Hello everyone,

    I am looking for an expression that can read the framerate of a nested composition.

    I have a project in which there are many different specs. Different formats and framerates. To give me an overview of all formats, I have created a composition in which all final animations are embedded as nested comps. This gives me a composition in which I have an overview of all the different formats and the respective designs.

    To further simplify the overview, I have created a text layer for each nested comp, on which there is an expression that recognizes the size of the respective nested comp.

    Unfortunately, I can’t currently find a solution for scanning the framerate as well as the size of the nested comp.

    Does anyone have a solution for me?

    Here is the expression that recognizes the size of the nested comp and displays it on the text layer:

    var input = thisComp.layer(index+1);

    var CompHeight = input.height;

    var CompWidth = input.width;

    var Devider = ” x “;

    var CompSize = CompHeight + Devider + CompWidth;

    [CompSize]

    Thank you in advance for your help !

    You could try something like this:

    (1/input.source.frameDuration).toFixed(2) + " fps"
