nothing fancy actually, just a crossfade

Yep, that’s what I ended up doing.
Thanks!

So here is the final expression.
It gets the distance at any given time and the maximum distance in the whole timeline

pA = thisComp.layer("A").transform.position;
pB = thisComp.layer("B").transform.position;

NowDist = length(pA, pB);

MaxDist = 0;
t =0;
while(t < thisComp.duration){
MaxDist = Math.max(MaxDist,length(pA.valueAtTime(t),pB.valueAtTime(t)));
t += thisComp.frameDuration;
}

scala = MaxDist/NowDist*100;

[scala, scala];

WOW!!
Thanks a lot, really! I’m no expert in ae expressions and simply assumed expressions could only consider the “here and now”.

The while function you showed me clearly proves I was wrong!

Yes, normally I can use “Stabilize Motion” in the tracker tab and only select scale, but this time I really need 2 nulls to control the effect

Thanks, this sounds interesting.
It appears though as if there is no way to make this odometer universal and re-usable in different projects without having to edit its expressions.

Old post, anyway the proper shortcut to switch between primaries and LOG is option (alt) Z
I just found it on the manual 🙂
