Weird.
I’ll report it to Adobe and see what they say.

Thanks,
D.

Hey Dan,

Remember this odd issue I had a couple months ago with this expression?
It just came back on a different project.

The expression is active, but it won’t do anything.
I applied it on a different layer and it works as expected.

Di you ever figure out what was wrong? I couldn’t.

fadeDur = .5;
ease(time,outPoint,outPoint-fadeDur,100,0)

I could swear I have used it with the array before the function.
As always you are right. Thanks a lot for your invaluable help.

Best,David.

Hey guys, so sorry I didn’t reply earlier to this thread. It sort of fell through the cracks on my end.
The answer is no, there is no other comps sharing the name, nor the layers are parented to anything, they are the only layer inside each comp.

Thanks,
D.

The layer with the expression is 2D, the other is 3D, I just noticed that, thanks. However I turned both layers into 3D and it didn’t work either.

The new error I’m getting is ctrl.valueAtTime is not a function.

[David Cabestany]

Got it, in case anyone needs it:

C = comp("poster-el protector COMPED");
ctrl = comp("poster-el protector COMPED").layer("poster-el protectorAE2").effect("FL Out Of Focus")("radius");
L = C.layer(thisComp.name);
x=ctrl.valueAtTime(time+L.startTime);
linear(x,0,63.5,650,0)

[David Cabestany]

Yes, very weird. I ended up replacing the curly quotation marks with pain ones manually.

[David Cabestany]

Syntax error.

That’s all it says.

Best,
D.

Thanks Dan,

Unfortunately that does not solve the issue. I just made a test to check for that.
The ExpressEdit script changes the quote marks automatically even if I do not touch them, I entered 5 sec loop without quotes and set it to replace it for 10 sec loop, also without the quote marks.

The quotes right next to the number changed automatically to the curly ones and all the expressions were disabled, however when I went and changed the quotes back to plain ones the expressions remained disabled, even after I manually changed the quote marks back to plain.

Best,
D.

L=thisComp.layer("xp").effect("10 sec loop")("Slider");
time*L;

Me neither, I used keyframes instead to complete the assignment, but I reported the issue to Adobe, let’s wait and see what they have to say.

Thanks for taking the time to look into this.
D.
