Thanks Dan! Sorry I didnt see that!

Sadly there is still a problem. To avoid any miscommunication I’ve attached a project.

The script works but it seems to react the same way it would if i just pick whipped it.

Thanks for you help

Thanks Dan, If i wanted a layer in my main comp to follow the scale from a layer in the precomp, i’m guessing i add this in and then it should work once i’ve renamed the layers and the precomp within the expression.

Below is the expression i’m using. i’m getting no errors but also nothing is happening.

Basically I have a sqaure in the main comp and a red dot in the precomp. I would like the square to reference the red dots scale animation. However I would like to have it further along the timeline than the red dots animation. I understand thatyour expression works however i’m so new to expressions i dont know how to confidently manipulate is to work in my favour.

I hope this makes sense

comp("animation").layer("layers").transform.scale
comp("animation").layer("layers").position.valueAtTime(time - thisComp.layer("animation").startTime)

all the best

Thanks Scott!

this works! however another issue has arisen.

if i then key frame the slider. and duplicate Precomp B the pictures then restart as the sequence when actually i want them to continue with what i have key framed.

This obviously makes sense however is it possible to make them not ‘restart the timeline’

I hope this makes sense

all the best
