I pulled the Adjustment layer out of the loupe comp, made it a child of said comp and edited the expression to keep it centered by multiplying the position by some numbers. Now when I add keyframes to the loupe comp’s position, the expression has no trouble, and doesn’t get hung up like it did when it was inside of the loupe comp. I don’t really understand the difference between why this worked and why the other didn’t, as they are doing the same thing.

[thisComp.layer("bryan loupe").transform.position[0]*6.4,thisComp.layer("bryan loupe").transform.position[1]*3.56]

Hey Dan,

Comp 1 is the main comp, so no. I should probably get better about naming everything.

When I was leaving work last night, I thought of a different solution, which was to just take the Adjustment layer out of the loupe comp, and have it as a child of the loup comp instead. Then I could just move it manually with everything else. It’s not as elegant, but I think it should work. I’d still like to know what I was doing wrong with the expression/keyframe, though. Thanks for any insight anyone can provide.

Cheers,
Bryan
