  • Linking Expressions to Other Comps

    Posted by John Jackowiak on April 4, 2007 at 7:38 pm

    I linked the scaling of a stereo speaker to the beat that is playing in my comp thanks to a creative cow tuitorial on expressions. My only issue is that instead of that audio, I now need to link the speaker to another audio source in a different compoistion without moving my stereo speaker from its original comp. If you guys have any advise I would greatly appreciate it. I attached my expression I’m currently using below. I tried just changing the part that says “thisComp” to the name of the composition where the new audio is, but it just gives me an error message and disables the expression. Thanks!

    s = thisComp.layer(“Audio Amplitude”).effect(“Both Channels”)(“Slider”);
    scale + [s,s]

    The easiest way is to probably just use the pick whip, but you’ve almost got it, it’s like this:

    s = comp(“your comp name goes here”).layer(“Audio Amplitude”).effect(“Both Channels”)(“Slider”);
    scale + [s,s]
