Hi Dan,

Thank you for your expression again! It works like a charm in both examples!! Exactly what I needed!
I’m very happy that you helped me out with this! A million thanks! This opens up some possibilities that I’ve never dreamed off!

Bart.

Dan, thank you very much for helping me out with this.

That code really looks like a massive math project. Phew! How do you do it?! Haha!

I’ve been struggling with this for a few days now. I’m trying to make my projects somewhat easier to edit for later, like working with a Mastercomp where the texts can be changed later on and some colors that are used in the animation, you never know. This way I can make my animations more variable.

Thanks again! I really appreciate this!

Thank you for replying so fast!
Yeah, that’s it! I’ve been working on an older version (without knowing). I just updated to 13.2 instead of 13.0.2 and now it does work.
Only too bad still something goes wrong. The rectangle (which has an anchor point in the mid-centre of it) now positions itself with the anchor in the far upper right corner of the composition, and is far to wide. But the size DOES change the way I want it too, so I’m on the way to achieving what I’m looking for. Maybe I’m still doing something wrong. I’ve been trying other values aswel in the expression, but I still don’t get what I’m trying for.

Thanks again!

Sorry, I attached the wrong picture. Here’s the right one. I can’t seem to edit my last post.

Well, it might be a beginners mistake, but I can’t seem to figure this out…
I’ve done exactly as you said but I think I still did this thing wrong.
It gives me errors when adding the expressions to the scale/position of the rectangle.
One of these errors are displayed below. I think I named my layers right. I did name my text layer for this example ‘my_text’.

I’m sorry for messing up, haha, still a rookie.
