  • Simple expression not “refreshing”

    Hi, I simply have a expression on the “Source Text” property of a text layer, I pick-whipped it to a different text-layers “Source Text” property and it did what I wanted it to: The first layer replaced the text with the text from the second layer…however, if I change the second layer it does not change instantaneously. How do I make it change instantaneously?

    I have no idea what you are talking about but I’m assuming you wanna see the text change as you type it in on the original layer. If so, your logic is flawed. Properties will only be evaluated once they exist or their values are set. That maybe awkward with text layers but actually avoids many errorswhen working with other types of expressions. So basically there is nothing you can do about it.
