Brilliant, that’s more than I expected, thanks a lot Philip!

This is superb, I followed your instructions for the Beam option and it works! In regards to the anchor point, I thought it had some influence on how the Beam’s starting point would locate itself on the null.

Thanks a bunch for your quick help.

Please would you be able to explain what the expressions in this thread meant, in very basic words?

-parent.transform.rotation

s = 100*transform.scale[0]/parent.transform.scale[0];
[s,s]

L = thisComp.layer(“Null”);
L.toComp([0,0,0])

Thanks Philip.

You got the concept of what I want to do. Unfortunately with your indications, I can’t get it to work.

From bullet point 1 to 7: everything fine.
Side note 1: I had adjusted the Null’s anchor point to be positioned onto the circle (on the middle of it’s right edge)
Side note 2: The circle is actually not intended for visual only, it’s part of the design.

Now, I’ve added a connecting line (solide white background + beam effect). When I parent the Beam’s ‘Staring Point’ to the null’s position (or even tried anchor point), the ‘Starting Point’ ends up off frame. And even if I try rotating the circle, the Beam’s ‘Starting Point’ does not change its position.

Where have I gone wrong?

Walter, thanks for your reply. I’ve tried those options and they are not ideal.

Guess I’ll have to start looking into training myself at davinci resolve or speedgrade. It’s for the best.

Thanks a bunch.
