parent/child scaling
I can easily set up the parent/child relationship with position and scaling, and that works great.
What I’m trying to achieve is this:
2 circles
parent is black and in front
child is blue and behind
I want the child to take on the position and scaling properties of the parent, but when the parent is small, I want the child to be smaller and unseen.The parent is attached to a random slider that changes, which is the expression I included. I honestly don’t know if this makes any sense in writing.
seedRandom(thisComp.layer("controller").effect("Random Seed")("Slider")+index,true)
x=wiggle(0.05,thisComp.layer("controller").effect("Amplitude")("Slider"));
y=x/10;
value+[y[0],y[0]] -

Essentially you want to do the child scaling by an expression that shrinks it more than the parent.
If the slider values change in the positive range, you could do it like this:
s=Math.max(0,[YOUR SCALING PARENTING OR CALCULATION HERE]-25);
[s,s]wherein the “-25” is the scale at which you want the smaller circle to be 0, i.e. when the larger circle is at 25%, the smaller one will be at 0%. You can change this value to your liking.
