linking to only – x, y or z .
Hi, appologies I know nothing about expressions and up until now have not needed to use them, but now I’m stuck can anyone help?
I want to link the output of trapcode soundkeys to just the X position of a layer. I drag the pickwhip from the position expresion controls to the output of Trapcode soundkeys and firstly the layers shoots off to the right then I get no movement at all. How do I achieve what I want to do, when I drag the pickwhip from the layer position to soundkeys, this expression appears by the position controls
temp = thisComp.layer(“Black Solid 9”).effect(“Sound Keys”)(“Output 1”);
[temp, temp, temp]I’m sure I need to edit this expresion to something else, I solely want Soundkeys to effect the X position.
I also need to repeat this proccess for some of the other “linked” 3x perameters like for example, for a layers width only.
Can anyone help, I should think this is as far as my needs go for expresions, so if someone could help me out on this one I should be able to get by with the rest of after effects ok. . . . I hope 🙂

Like this:
temp = thisComp.layer(“Black Solid 9”).effect(“Sound Keys”)(“Output 1”);
[temp, value[1], value[2]]Or, if you just want the sound to offset the x position, like this:
temp = thisComp.layer(“Black Solid 9”).effect(“Sound Keys”)(“Output 1”);
value + [temp, 0, 0]Dan
