“scale” depending on “position”
hi everybody,
I have a rolling title here. Each line is a single textlayer.
I would like each line to get bigger when being in the middle of the screen (x=720, y=540 in this case). Getting smaller, when getting/coming to/from the edges.I wonder what an Expression for the “scale” property should look like.
any suggestions out there?
thanks a lot

Something like this should get you started:
minScale = 100;
maxScale = 200;centerY = thisComp.height/2;
dist = Math.abs(toWorld(anchorPoint)[1] – centerY);
s = ease(dist,0,centerY,maxScale,minScale);

minOpac = 50; maxOpac = 100; centerY = thisComp.height/2; dist = Math.abs(toWorld(anchorPoint)[1] - centerY); s = ease(dist,0,centerY,maxOpac,minOpac); [s,s]
hi Dan,
thanks. that exactly does it. As I am trying to understand whats going on I experimented a little. Trying to use it for other properties.
When using it for “Opacity” I get an error “Expression result must be of dimension 1, not 2. Error occured in line 0.”
I don’t get it. What’s the problem here? Of course I have to admit, that I am not relly too experienced with expressions and need to build up with the basics still.
thx

This should do it (haven’t tried it, but it looks right):
minOpac = 50;
maxOpac = 100;centerY = thisComp.height/2;
dist = Math.abs(toWorld(anchorPoint)[1] – centerY);
ease(dist,0,centerY,maxOpac,minOpac);Dan
