Just put this expression in the scale property of the matte and change the layer name to the layer you want the position to be taken from
[value[0],thisComp.layer("ParentPosition").transform.position[1]]“|_ (°_0) _|”

try the “invert” effect and see if that gets you where you want.

Usually it is best to post a time code for the video so we know the exact effect in question. However, if it’s the one I think (it happens in the beginning with the girl) it’s just time remapping. Someone filmed walking up to the girl regular speed, then they put it in slow mo, and sped it up really fast for the zoom, then started using slow mo again.
There are a lot of ways to play with time in After Effects (or premiere pro). If you can buy it, twixtor really is the best for AE, if not, I would use time remapping in AE.

No sorry, don’t think I can be of help on this one. I think I jumped out of my league here.
Maybe upload a project file and give a little more detail of what you’re trying to do. Someone else may be able to jump in.

Sorry, forgot I did a little other clean up. See if this does what you want.
layer = "17";
S=100/comp("MapLayers").layer(layer).scale[0]-1;
x1=640;
y1=360;
x2=x1+S*(comp("MapLayers").layer("1").position[0]-comp("MapLayers").layer("17").position[0]);
y2=y1+S*(comp("MapLayers").layer("1").position[1]-comp("MapLayers").layer("17").position[1]);
t1=1;
t2=5;if (time == t1){
sx = x1;
sy = y1;
}else if (time > t1 && time == t2){
t = time - t1;
T = t2 - t1;
kx = Math.log(x2/x1)/T;
ky = Math.log(y2/y1)/T;
sx = x1*Math.exp(kx*t);
sy = y1*Math.exp(ky*t);
}else{
sx = x2;
sy = y2;
}
[sx,sy]“|_ (°_0) _|”

Essentially the motion in this video as if these blocks were text. I want to isolate the text first in a group based on the character being odd or even and then bring them in sequentially, but still in order respective to the entirety of the text. Hmm, tough to explain.

I didn’t get the error after I tacked on the -1, however, you didn’t define lt in the variables so I removed it when I tried it.

the thing that is causing your error is this line:
S=100/comp(“MapLayers”).layer(layer).scale[0];
Just tack on a -1 so you don’t divide 100/00
I’m not exactly sure what you’re trying to do with it, but I hope that helps.
S=100/comp("MapLayers").layer(layer).scale[0] - 1;“|_ (°_0) _|”

Thanks! That makes a lot of sense. The logic of the expression selector has always eluded me, but that helps. One last question.
What if I wanted to then affect it in order from left to right. So essentially combining something like the expression below with the index selector. Make sense?
swings=3;
timeOffset=0.25;v=valueAtTime(time-timeOffset*textIndex/textTotal)[0];
anim=2*Math.PI*v/100;
amp=easeOut(v,0,100,100,0);
Math.cos(anim*swings)*amp;“|_ (°_0) _|”

George

Thanks Dan!
Quick question. What is the syntax saying when you use “? 100 : 0” is it just, “if true yes, if false no?”
Also, I had a semi solution that I was using in the screenshot below. Could you possibly explain to me why when I keyframed the position value that a value of 8,000 only moved the characters about 200 pixels?
