What do the error messages say?

For twice a second it would be:

posterizeTime(2);
linear(time,0,10,[0,100],[100,100])

For once every two seconds it would be:

posterizeTime(.5);
linear(time,0,10,[0,100],[100,100])

Don’t know about your error, but (FYI in case you didn’t already know) precomping will cause AE to rasterize everything.

You can use an expression like this with your keyframes:

posterizeTime(1);
value

Or one like this to do the whole thing (without keyframes):

posterizeTime(1);
linear(time,0,10,[0,100],[100,100])

Well, strangely enough, once you import a footage item, you actually have to loop through all the items in the project window and find it before you can add it to a comp. Something like this:

myPath = imageFolderPath + imageFile;
myImageFile = File(myPath);
myImportOptions.file = myImageFile;
myFootage = myProject.importFile(myImportOptions);

n = myProject.numItems;
for (j=1; j<=n; j++){ if (myProject.item(j).name == imageFile){ myNewFootage = myProject.item(j); break; } } myImage = myComp.layers.add(myNewFootage); Dan

OK – I’m confused. Are you creating a new layer for each letter the way you’re doing it now, and the keying out the background of each layer? Couldn’t you do the same thing with the “Paint on Transparent” – one layer for each letter (without the keying)?

I’m missing something.

You’re pickwhipping the Audio Amplitude layer instead of one of the sliders in the layer. Pickwhipping a slider still probably won’t give you what you want. You’re probably looking for something more like this:

mult = 5.0;
y = thisComp.layer(“Audio Amplitude”).effect(“Both Channels”)(“Slider”);
value + [0,y]*mult
