Source text to Image size and resolution relative to scale

[Dan Ebberts]

If your image is 1920×1080, this would probably be the simplest:

s = parseFloat(thisComp.layer(“Text Layer”).text.sourceText);
[s,s]

(although 50% would correspond to 960×540 in that case). If you want 100% to be 1920×1080 no matter what the original size is, that would be more like this:

s = parseFloat(thisComp.layer(“Text Layer”).text.sourceText);
[1920/width,1080/height]*s

Hi Dan,

Thanks for the quick reply.

The expressions seems to be working quite well, solves the problem of being able to type only numbers in the source text, however as of now this expression makes it so that when i type 100 it actually scales it to a 100% and when i type 1920 it scales it to 1920% uniformly, would you suggest i use the same expression on two different text layers separating x and y values? Also, i was actually trying to achieve the opposite of this, when i type 1920 it actually scales the image to a 100%.
Similarly on Y axis when i type 1080 it scales it to a 100%.

More like this then:

x = parseFloat(thisComp.layer(“X”).text.sourceText);
y = parseFloat(thisComp.layer(“Y”).text.sourceText);
[x/1920,y/1080]*100;

Worked like a charm, you’re a god.

Thanks a lot!
