    I’m lip syncing a character’s jaw to audio… but I only want the motion to be along the Y axis instead of X & Y… How do I go about doing it?

    thanks,

    Isolate the values

    sound_ref=thisComp.layer(“Sound”).effect(“Both Channels”)(“Slider”); //layer reference
    sound_amp = 100; //multiplier to intensify movement

    X=position[0];
    Y=position[1]+sound_ref*sound_amp;

    [X,Y]

    Try this on the position of the Lower Jaw layer. Adjust min/max audio and JawDrop to get the range of motion you want.

    minAudio = 0;
    maxAudio = 20;
    minJawDrop = 0;
    maxJawDrop = 50;
    audioLevel = thisComp.layer(“Audio Amplitude”).effect(“Both Channels”)(“Slider”);

    temp = linear(audioLevel,minAudio,maxAudio,maxJawDrop,minJawDrop);

    [position [0], position [1] + temp]
