“quality of the monitor is extremely important in my case”
if you have the budget for it, consider a 10 bit workflow monitor,(10 bit 3d card, 10 bit software(photoshop CS5) It’s excessive for some people, but if you work with highly detailed gradients and large color spaces (Adobe 1998 or higher) it makes a difference. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, don’t waste the extra money, lol.

I think you could help people more by answering 3 questions
1. what is the end result you’re trying to do?
2. “distributed these layers within the timeline?” please detail.3. “hierarchy within the stack of Expression Layer Controls.” so there’s a list of effects on a layer that you want to re-sort?

you don’t have to understand trig, just remove the random code and replace it with simple expression sliders, then simply keyframe the sliders. don’t make me upload a project file now! lol.

a simple test to lookAt the orientation data from the layer
an expression which orients a layer towards a camera can be used backwards to get data to create an if statement for opacity. Simply see what data it gives and put that in the if statement.
NOT tested…
orientation expression
L = thisComp.layer(“Camera 1”);
lookAt(fromWorld(L.toWorld(L.transform.anchorPoint)),transform.anchorPoint)https://technicolorsoftware.hostzi.com/

well a layer invisible when facing away from the camera could be a vector. just paste in opacity of text set as 3D.
if (toCompVec([0, 0, 1])[2] > 0 ) value else 0
or fade gradually -courtesy of Dan’s handiwork!
fadeAngle = 35;
v = toCompVec([0,0,1]);
d = length(toWorld(anchorPoint),thisComp.layer(“Camera 1”).toWorld([0,0,0]));
c = v[2]/d;
ease(c,Math.cos(degreesToRadians(fadeAngle)),1.0,0,100)—
also I got this working which I find incredibly useful.name your rectangle “End 2” and paste this in rotation of the arrow with an added slider
Now you can use a dummy system so that you can parent objects, and the code will always auto orient to the layer being called to.
follow2 = “End 2”
diff = sub(position,this_comp.layer(follow2).position);(Math.atan2(diff[1],diff[0]) * 180/Math.PI) + 180+effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”)

sounds like a job for my handy dandy inertial bounce expression.

sometimes deleting the preference file fixes those sort of errors and don’t use compressed video for source.

a freebie with not as many features.
The Final Cut 2 After Effects script will allow you to bypass that and simply use the footage that has already been imported into Final Cut.
