Understanding black and white levels driving a comp
Here is the project file:
6325_pespsver3gh.aep.zipA buddy of mine was gracious enough to help me in a last second bind and delivered this file to me to save the day. I since cannot get ahold of him and had a few questions about how it was created. Its basically 3 comps with black and white values that drive rotation, scale, and brightness. What I cant figure out is how the lines are being connected to and therefore being driven by the comps. Feel free to download and use as well 🙂
Im not new to After Effects but I only understand very basic expressions. That being said , if possible would love to have it explained to me like im 7.
Thanks in advance

It looks like each layer is sampling the three gradient/luminance layers at the point corresponding to the layer’s own position in the comp and using the blue channel of those samples to drive the layer’s brightness, contrast,scale, and y rotation.
