Colin,

Your analysis is dead on.

v2 = C.toWorldVec([0,0,1]);

This just creates a unit vector in the direction of the camera’s z axis and translates it to world coordintes. Then you have the two unit vectors you need to find the angle.

Something like this:

p = thisComp.layer(“myLayer”).position;
“” + Math.round(p[0]*100)/100 + ” ” + Math.round(p[1]*100)/100

It’ll probably be some variation of something like this:

C = thisComp.layer(“Camera 1”);
v1 = normalize(position – C.position)
v2 = C.toWorldVec([0,0,1]);
radiansToDegrees(Math.acos(dot(v1,v2)))

This should do it as long as you don’t go above 999,999:

startCount = 0;
endCount = 500000;
countDur = 200;
s = “” + Math.round(linear(time,0,countDur,startCount,endCount));

if (s.length > 3){
s.substr(0, s.length -3) + “,” + s.substr(-3);
}else{
s
}

I see a couple of basic problems. First, you can’t affect a property with an expression applied to a different property. An expression can only control the value of the property it’s applied to.

Second, an effect’s “active” attribute is read-only.

What you could do though is apply an expression to the Brush Stroke’s Blend With Original parameter and set it to 0 or 100% based on the checkbox.
