  • use luma map to displace position

    Posted by Johnny Mabie on February 8, 2018 at 1:44 am

    I would like to use a luma gradient map to effect the position value on individual layers. For example:

    Start with:
    a) a row of shape layers laid out horizontally across the comp
    b) a white-to-black horizontal gradient map off the left side of the comp

    As the gradient map moves from left to right across the comp, each shape layer’s y-position increases as the luma value behind it increases from black to white.

    There must be an expression or string of expressions that can achieve this. Any ideas?
