It is not but thank you for your suggestion.
I copied the layers to another composition and it worked there, so it must be a bug.

Hi,
I have been using expressions for years, and today I got a very weird error that I have never come across. It seems to me like a bug.
I simply want to link a layer’s opacity to the opacity of another layer, as you can see in the image attached.
I have tried referencing the layer by index and by name, but both give me the error. If I link it to…

Thank you a lot for your answer.
Modifying the last line from [100,100]/Math… to [100,100]*Math… does exactly what I want.

Do you happen to have any link so I can read about this calculation to understand it a bit better?

Is there an easy way of calculating the scaling of a layer in order to fit the composition size, even if that layer is rotated? So something similar to the photoshop crop tool, where as you rotate the layer, it scales to fit the canvas.

Lets say I have a 1920×1080 comp and a layer the same size, with the anchor point in the middle. When I rotate…

Nevermind, I found the cause.
I had enabled the setting: Settings -> Navigation -> Trackball Rotation
Turning that feature off fixed the issue.

I have the same issue. Did you manage to find a solution?

Hi Scott,

I am not sure if I fully understood your whole project (I am not sure if/why you need a slider) but if you want to just rename the layers that start with ‘Bar’ from bottom to top, this is a very simple script. You don’t need any slider/expressions to do something like this, but maybe I misunderstood something.

var comp =…
