problem i have with “toWorld” expression
so. I was parenting my camera to a null object.
and then i applied the following expression to the camer’as position.
C=thisComp.layer(“Camera Controll”)
C.toWorld([0,0,0])but two weird thing happened when I used this:

As you can see the position of the camera has changed.
important note:those screen shots are “top view”Another thing weird thing is the movement of the camera.

i find this confusing becuse i tought this expression should just tell the camera to take the position’s data back in reltation to the world and not from the Null.
im trying to understand how this expression is suppose to work and i would very appreciate if someone will be able to explain why this things happens?Some contents or functionalities here are not available due to your cookie preferences!This happens because the functionality/content marked as “Google Youtube” uses cookies that you choosed to keep disabled.

Your expression is attempting to set the camera’s position to its own position in world space. However, since the camera has a parent, that position will be interpreted in the parent’s layer space (relative to its upper left corner), which in turn causes the camera to move, which changes its position in worlds space. Frankly I wouldn’t know what to predict for the final result.
