Parenting a scale layer of one layer to position of another
Hi There. I was hoping someone could explain what I need to do here. I have a layer that has a wiggle expression for just the y-axis POSITION property. I have another layer that needs to wiggle the x-axis SCALE property In SYNC with the y-axis position property. Any suggestions (and the “why” behind it all so I can help put the pieces together in my head for future) would be most appreciated. Thanks!

One way would be to put an amplitude = 1 wiggle on a slider control:
wiggle(1,1)
and then use that as the basis for the wiggles on the other properties (adding a multiplier for the proper scaling). For position, it might look like this (assuming you haven’t separated dimensions):
w = effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”);
value + [0,w*100]and like this for scale:
w = effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”);
value + [w*50,value[1]]Try it–you’ll see how it works.

Oops– the one for scale should be:
w = effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”);
value + [w*50,v0] -
Dan, thanks so much. This worked perfectly. Slowly putting this (expressions) all together in my head 🙂
Again, thank you for taking the time to help!
