Hi Dan!

After upgrading to AE 16.1.3, I no longer receive the previously mentioned errors and am able to render the final product with the expression effects as visualized in AE.

It looks like it was a bug in 16.0.1.

Thanks, again, for all your time and assistance.

Respectfully,

Gary

Hi Dan!

It sounds like it must be a bug in AE 16.0.1 that was fixed by 16.1.3.

I guess it’s time to upgrade my version of AE.

Thank you for all your help.

Respectfully,

Gary

Hi Dan!

Does the glow pulsate on and off in what you rendered or does the glow just remain 100% and scale with the object?

In my rendered version, the glow does not pulsate on and off. The glow just remains at 100% and scales with the object, which is incorrect.

Your response will help me determine whether I need to upgrade my version of AE.

Thanks, again

That’s what I observe with errors in the AE visualizer.

What does the final rendering look like for you?

Thanks.

Hi Dan!

What’s the best method to get the .aep and source files too you?

Would you mind exporting the composition to validate the final rendering as well?

Thanks, again.

Hi Dan!

Do you receive any expression errors when you pickwhip from the Outer Glow opacity control to the Audio Amplitude > Both Channels > Slider?

Expression:

thisComp.layer(“Audio Amplitude”).effect(“Both Channels”)(“Slider”)

It produces the same error (Warning: expression disabled. Error on line 1.) for me, visualizing fine in AE, but isn’t included in the final, exported rendering.

If I provided you with my .aep file, would you try to reproduce it in AE CC 16.1.3?

Thanks, again, for your time and assistance in tracking this issue down.

Kind Regards,

Gary

thisComp.layer("Audio Amplitude").effect("Both Channels")("Slider")

Hi Dan!

It appears that the main body off text of my original message, that described the issue in detail, was not included in my original post.

That being said, the issue is with any expression (simple or complex) that I add to the opacity control of an Outer Glow layer style.

The error is a warning that the expression had been disabled because of an error in line 1.

Even the basic alt/opt-click expression produces the same error.

Ignoring the warning, I am able to see that the expression is working correctly in the AE visualizer. However, when I export the composition, the final rendered product does not include the effect of the expression.

I am using Adobe After Effects CC 16.0.1.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Kind Regards,

Gary
