Pseudo Effects Default Expressions
I’ve created a Pseudo Effect that has multiple slider controls, amongst other things. I need the slider controls to have default expressions already applied to the Slider whenever the Effect is applied.
I am able to apply default values, but is there a way to apply expressions in the same way? Here is part of my XML file for reference:
<Effect matchname=”Pseudo/TextTool_Offset” name=”$$$/AE/Preset/TextTool_Offset=Text Tool Offset”>
<Group name=”$$$/AE/Preset/AnimationIn=Animation In” >
<Slider name=”$$$/AE/Preset/XStartPosition=X Start Position” default=”0″ valid_min=”-1000″ valid_max=”1000″ slider_min=”-100″ slider_max=”100″ precision=”2″ />
<Slider name=”$$$/AE/Preset/XEndPosition=X End Position” default=”0″ valid_min=”-1000″ valid_max=”1000″ slider_min=”-100″ slider_max=”100″ precision=”2″ />
<Checkbox name=”$$$/AE/Preset/Mirror=Mirror” hold=”true” default=”true” />
</Group>
</Effect>
I need this expression to be applied to the “X End Position” slider:
if(effect(“TextTool_Offset”)(“Mirror”)==1){
-(effect(“TextTool_Offset”)(“X Start Position”))
} else {
value;
}
This expression takes the inverse of X Start Position if the “Mirror” checkbox is checked. If not, it returns the value. This Pseudo Effect will be apart of a script, so it’s important that the expressions load in by default. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I think you’d have to save the your effect, with the expression applied, as a preset.
