Y position expression with SoundKeys
I’ve done several searches and came across several expressions for linking the Y position (by itself) to the correct movement I’m looking for. The problem is when I link it, it goes in the opposite direction.
I want the object I’m linking to move positive from a relative location in space however the SoundKeys effect is referenced at zero, so for some reason the animation forces it to move down.
Any ideas?
I also simply separated the Y and X values and pick-whipped it to the SoundKeys’ keyframe and the same thing happens.
temp = thisComp.layer("Adjustment Layer 3").effect("Sound Keys")("Output 1");
[temp, temp, temp]

Try it this way:
y = thisComp.layer(“Adjustment Layer 3”).effect(“Sound Keys”)(“Output 1”);
value – [0,y,0];Dan

Dan, not sure if you’re gonna see this again but I have a follow up.
I need the object being animated with the expression to travel the entire vertical distance to follow a sine wave that is animating next to it.
What ends up happening is the ball moves up and down however doesn’t go down enough to match the sine wave. It settles into it’s origin point. Hope that makes sense. Basically it doesn’t travel the entire stretch of space the sine wave does so they don’t appear to match.
I need to allow the object to oscillate within a set vertical space to match the sine wave, not sure nest way to proceed orr if the expression can be edited to allow for this.
Thanks again!
