If you look at the rotation values in the graph editor, you’ll see that the lower layer is actually 5 seconds behind the upper layer.

Just a couple of notes on your expressions. You don’t need the final variable, and you don’t need to put the result in brackets (because rotation is a one-dimensional property), so this would do for the top expression:

initialRotation = 0;
rotationIncrement = 10;
initialRotation + rotationIncrement + Math.floor(time)

and this for lower one:

R = thisComp.layer(index-1).transform.rotation;
R.valueAtTime(time-5);

Also, I’m wondering if the upper rotation is actually what you meant to do or whether you needed a multiplication, like this:

initialRotation = 0;
rotationIncrement = 10;
initialRotation + rotationIncrement * Math.floor(time)

Another possibility is to just provide a static reference point, then you don’t need to animate the null to see the effect. In this example I use the center of the comp as the reference point (p0):

L = thisComp.layer("Null 1");
p0 = [thisComp.width,thisComp.height]/2;
p1 = L.toComp(L.anchorPoint)
value + (p1 - p0)

[Dan Ebberts]

If you want it track the movement of the null, you’d have to do something like this (but the point won’t move until you animate the position of the null):

L = thisComp.layer("Null 1");
p0 = L.toComp(L.anchorPoint,0)
p1 = L.toComp(L.anchorPoint)
value + (p1 - p0)

I think all you need is something like this:

L = thisComp.layer("Null 1");
fromComp(L.toComp(L.anchorPoint))

If I’m understanding what you’re trying to do, I think you want something like this:

s = effect("moveAmtN")("Slider");
n = clamp(Math.round(s),1,numKeys);
valueAtTime(key(n).time)

[Dan Ebberts]

I think this is what you’re after:

a = thisComp.layer("layer").transform.position[0];
t = linear(a,0,100,key(1).time,key(2).time);
valueAtTime(t)

Haven’t tested this, but something like this should work:

a= thisComp.name.split("_")[0];
nume = thisLayer.name + (" ") + a;
manual = text.sourceText;
automat = comp("data").layer(nume).text.sourceText ;
if (effect("manual")("Checkbox") == 1) {
  txt = manual
}else{
  txt = automat
}
curFontSize = style.fontSize;
style.setText(txt).setFontSize(Math.min(curFontSize,25))

[Dan Ebberts]

Something like this should work:

curFontSize = style.fontSize;
style.setFontSize(Math.min(curFontSize,25))

You could do something similar with the circle’s Stroke Width:

refSize = 100;
size = content("Ellipse 1").content("Ellipse Path 1").size[0];
value*size/refSize

[Dan Ebberts]

Depending on how you have things set up, I think you’d need a reference size to compare the current size to. Then you could use something like this:

refSize = 100;
size = thisComp.layer("Shape Layer 1").content("Ellipse 1").content("Ellipse Path 1").size[0];
s = (size/refSize)*100;
