Expression works only with AFX in English language, but not in other languages will be disabled.
Since the Effect of “Color” or “Opacity” is called in other languages (in this case in german) “Farbe” and “Deckkraft”, when working in AFX in other language the link to the “Color Master Comp” will get lost, the expression will be disabled. It has to be a way to use expressions in an international level, isn’t it? Is there a way to around this problem? I’ve been searching the Adobe After Effect Expressions FAQ, visiting the Webpage of Dan Ebberts, but I still don’t know how to fix it.
Have a look to the attached printscreens with the error message.
Thank you very much for your advice.
Cheers, David

I think your best bet would be to use the match names for the properties. For example, you would reference opacity this way:
comp(“Comp 1”).layer(“Solid 1”)(“ADBE Transform Group”)(“ADBE Opacity”)
The trick, of course, is getting the match names. Jeff Almasol has a great script on his site (redefinery.com) that you can use to get the match names:
rd_GimmePropPath.jsx
