Getting ‘Separate XYZ POsition’ to work …
Hi —
I’m trying to animate a layers z-position to an audio amplitude track, and in order to do so I’m using the ‘Separate XYZ Position’ animation preset on the layer I want to animate, then using the following expression on the Z POsition:
thisComp.layer(“Audio Amplitude”).effect(“Both Channels”)(“Slider”)*10
But, it’s not working. Any help?
Thanks

I don’t know that preset, but try this:
Type this expression into the expression box:
[value[0],value[1],value[2]]
That just says use the x,y,z
Highlight the “value [2]” (the Z axis) and pickwhip to a Channel Slider for the Audio Amplitude Layer, to get:
[value[0],value[1],thisComp.layer(“Audio Amplitude”).effect(“Both Channels”)(“Slider”)]
If you wanted to Wiggle just the Z axis, try this:
[value[0],value[1],wiggle(5,20)[2]]

So, this works, almost … this is the same problem I was having before, my Z position value on my layer is changing correctly, and my X&Y values are remaining static, as they should … however, the layer itself is not moving. I must be doing something stupid/obvious, but can’t seem to figure it out.
3D is enabled
My expression is enabled
I’m on the right layer …what else could it be?

Ack! Never mind, I figured it out … I had view set to ‘Front’, not ‘Active Camera’

I hate when that happens.
