Filip – this is incredible! thank you so very much! – I have been looking for something like that for ages!

it is always very difficult to figure out which JS functions will and will not work and I never even considered the approach you took!

Again, thank you!

Hello Friends…

I am trying to figure out something that has been nagging me for years….

If I create a simple shape layer with a bezier path, the layer itself has an anchor point and position properties, then the shape group itself has its own anchor point and position properties that are relative to the layer, then, if I select/double click on…

Hi, thanks for the suggestion!

However, this will not work for my setup… the precomp is time remapped and is the full duration of the parent comp – this is so I can trigger the precomp to run from start to end using markers placed on the precomp layer in the parent comp.. so that the inPoint property would be “0”

try looking at Rift (https://aescripts.com/rift/) and Keysmith (https://aescripts.com/keysmith/) i think one or both will be able to help you

have a look at this video – it explains how to do this

So here’s my conundrum… I have a precomp with several audio layers and an animation, and I would like to control it in the parentComp using markers, and have the ability to mute/unmute the audio layers based on the marker.comment in the parentComp.

As the audio or audio effects don’t work with masterProperties, I can’t go that route, so I have…

This does work! thank you Filip & Brendon

I did it slightly differently – more like what Filip suggested – so I have 4 Point controllers (from DUIK Bones – UP DOWN LEFT RIGHT) then I add additional 4 Nulls UP2 DOWN2 LEFT2 RIGHT2.

Then with DUIK, I zero out each NULL and Controller.

I parent UP to UP2 and LEFT TO LEFT2 and so on.

Then I parent the…

Thanks for the suggestion – in fact I have been using that script (you can also use Duik’s “add bones” to do the exact same thing too)

but my problem is not this… my problem is that I can’t figure out how to make it so when I move one set of points the opposite set moves the same amount but in the opposite direction – and that it works on both…

So here is the setup… A circle that needs to have four controllers (shape layers) that if moved, will distort the circle evenly… meaning if I pull one controller the opposite one will move in the opposite direction an equal amount…

The setup I am trying to use is this:

I have created a shape layer circle, converted the path to bezier path and…
