reversed scale

[Filip Vandueren]

s=comp("00148P.mov ansikte").layer("00148P.mov").transform.scale;
[10000/s[0],10000/s[1]];
// or
[10000/s[0],10000/s[1],10000/s[2]];

Hi Goran,

if by reverse you mean 50% -> 200%
try this expression (for 2D)

for 3D use the lqst line

Thank´s a million Filip! It worked like a charm!

[Filip Vandueren]

of course, watch out for scale [0,0,0] you will get divide by zero errors

[Göran Thorén]

Ok, will do.
Could you explain what the expreesion does exactly?

[Darby Edelen]

10000 is 100 squared.

You’re dividing 100 squared by whatever your scale happens to be. So at 100% scale your result will be 100%:

100 * 100 / 100 = 100

This can also be written as:

100 * (100 / scale)

As you decrease the scale value below 100 the second term (100 / scale) will increase in value. At 50% scale the second term will evaluate to 2 which results in 100 * 2 or 200%:

100 * (100 / 50) = 100 * 2 = 200%

Does that help at all?

Thank´s Darby!
I´m really poor when it comes to math unfortunately, I´m more of a visual person. But it was well explained so I think I get the essense of it. 🙂
I could never figure things like that out myself. I wish I could though. Thank god for guys like you!
