  • Linking (Transform Scale) to (Stroke Width)

    Hello Guys.

    We want to create a video with stroke style, as you can see below.

    Now, as you notice, the stroke has a fixed width, whether the object is small or large. That’s one of the video guidelines.

    What we are looking for, is a way to link the stroke width with scaling. Meaning, as I scale the object down, the stroke width remains the same (by scaling up with the same proportion). Consider that the object is not a native AE, it’s imported from Illustrator and then auto traced. (and then propebly apply stroke effect to it, unless you have a better idea)

    What plan do you suggest for this linking?

    I’d try this for the brush size of your Stroke effect:

    value/(scale[0]/100)

    Ala Mctoom, for that there is no need any expressions… It’s so simple.. Just turn on your auto traced layer’s collapse transformation switch… That’s all…
    And Master Dan, That your expression (value/(scale[0]/100)) , It’s not working perfectly…
