[SOLVED] Expression values and Precomps
Hi.
I have a project made like this:
MainComp -> PrecompA -> PrecompB
I have to animate some numerical values from a slider effect inside PrecompB from my MainComp.
I tried to pickwhip the values of the slider in PrecompB to a slider in a NULL inside my main composition.
If both my NULL and my PrecompA start at time 0 inside the main composition, everithing works fine but if my PrecompA starts at – for example – 3:00 seconds then the values start with a time offset of 3 seconds.
I know I can use an offset value inside my pickwhip expression to correct this but if I move around the starting point of my PrecompA inside MainComp I have to manually change the offset every time.
There’s some way to automatically change my time offset value as I move the starting point of my PrecompA inside MainComp?Thanks

Ok I solved it:
offset = comp("MainComp").layer("CompA").startTime -
Hi Pierpaolo,
Thanks for giving answer to my problem, with pre-comps which are not triggert inside ae expressions while making keys . How can I add this line inside my expression?
framesToTime(comp("ellen_head").layer("Mouth_CTRL").effect("Mouth")("Slider"))
