Refer to a value outside of the comp
Hi,
I have 256 compositions, all very similar and with the same black solid as the top layer. On that solid I have a basic expression that toggles the opacity on and off randomly, off being 10 times more likely than on.
If I wanted to change the likelihood from 10 to 20, I’d have to go and change the expression in all 256 compositions. Could I avoid that by setting that X number somewhere in my project outside of these compositions, and refer to it? I could then easily play with that number and affect all compositions.
Many thanks.

Sure. It might look something like this:
pct = comp(“Controls”).layer(“Controls”).effect(“Percent”)(“Slider”);
seedRandom(index,true);
random() < pct/100? 100 : 0Dan

That would be it. Thank you so much for this and for everything you do Dan.
