  pre-compose Expressions-Links (“thisComp” vs. comp(“compName”))

  Posted by Matthias Stoll on April 8, 2020 at 4:20 pm

  Hello everybody,

  I sometimes want to precompose expressions. Is there a quick solution which changes all ‘thisComp’ references into ‘comp(“compName”)’? A script maybe that works like ‘find and replace text’ but throughout all expressions in one composition?

  Thanks!

  Matthias

  before:
temp = thisComp.layer("CONTROL").effect("radius")(1);

  after:
  temp = comp("Wheel").layer("CONTROL").effect("radius")(1);
