Is there a “trace” command?
I realize expressions are largely in their infancy, but is there a trace command or something similar that is available during run-time? I’d love to be able to throw a line of code in there like:
trace varX;
and be able to see that variable’s value in the info window.
If not, any word on what kind of features will be incorporated into the next version?Thanks,
Greg.p.s. Now that I’m thinking about it, would I be able to take the value of varX and plug it into the text value of a text layer on screen? I guess that would effectively give me some on screen feedback, which could just be hidden when I’m ready to render. Anyone done anything like that?

I use text source expressions for this kind of stuff all the time.
you cannot however set a variable in say, the expression for position, and ‘trace’ that variable in the text layer.
You’ll have to redo the calculation there.See the discussion about global variables a few threads back.

Thanks, Filip.
It sounds like you’re saying that if I’m just interested in the value of an expression or variable, I should just plug it into another expression slider and either monitor or further utilize the value there, yes?
