Get time of other comp
Hello everybody,
I try to explain what I am trying to do.
In my main composition I have various precomps. Within these precomps I have shape layers who’s colors are linked via expressions to color controls in the main comp:
comp(“main”).layer(“ColorControl”).effect(“Color Control”)(“Color”)Now I am animating the color via keyframes in the main comp.
Up to now everything works fine.
Here is the problem:
Now when I shift a precomp in the timeline of the main comp, the timing of the color animation of the shifted layer delays.How can I tell the color attribute of the pre comps shape layer that I want him to change color according to the main timeline, no matter how many frame I shift the precomp on the main comps timeline.
thanks a lot!!!!!!

Try it this way:
C = comp(“main”);
ctrl = C.layer(“Color Control”).effect(“Color Control”)(“Color”);
L = C.layer(thisComp.name);
ctrl.valueAtTime(time + L.startTime)Dan
