The page tells me to download Flash Player. I guess that answers that question.

Can you do a screen grab of what you got as a result? That might clarify what went wrong.

Math.max needs a second input to get the desired result, you could try:
thisScaleParent = Math.max(thisLayer.toWorldVec(transform.scale),.0001)Kalleheikki Kannisto

Color management is a bit of a rabbit hole, especially for the web, since every monitor, and even many a piece of software is going to show it differently, and you will have no control over that beyond your own system.
What I do to get as close to a controllable situation as possible, is make sure my monitor is calibrated in such a way that I can see the full gradient from black to white without cutting anything off at either end (close to full black or close to full white) and obviously a neutral gray gradient in between. Then, when editing images, I look at them channel by channel to see if something sticks out on individual color channels. The combined RGB image can fool you, but any problematic cut-outs will likely show on individual channels.
I also use the color management system (I have an MSI with the True Color control panel) to switch between different color settings to get an idea of how something will look on differently calibrated monitors. True Color has 6 different settings you can switch between with one click of a button. I would expect other software to exist where you can do the same.

Recommended graphics cards here: https://www.videocopilot.net/assets/public/misc/Element-GPUs.pdf
I have GTX 980 and 1080, both work great, and I do most of my work with Element. 980 is a bit borderline for complex scenes in 4K, 1080 has no problem with them.
If I needed to do 8K more than once in a blue moon, I’d look into the 2080, but that would most likely require a different computer, plus an 8K monitor as well.

To apply an expression, you alt-click the stop watch of the property, in this case it would be the color swatch in some effect that has it. Taking the example of the Tint effect, apply the tint effect to your layer, expand the controls so that you can see the color swatch and apply the expression to it.
The Tint effect isn’t really going to do what you want. The Change To Color effect is closer to what you want, applying the expression to the To color swatch. You’ll need to make the From color match the original color of your layer.NB. If the layer is multicolored, this won’t work too well. In that case you’re back to the Tint, but you will need to apply it to a copy of the layer on top of the original layer and set the blending mode of the top layer to Hue.

Probably a divide by zero issue. How about you force the scale to be a very small number instead of zero with Math.max()?

I would try rendering audio only, one layer at a time, and then combine with video in edit. That way the expression only have to deal with the time remapping of one layer at a time.

Since you are not fading the audio, you will get a crazy double audio if you keep it on.
I would try exporting audio only for the two layers SEPARATELY (i.e. with just one of the layers enabled at a time.) Then you can combine them in an editing software.
However, you will still get two layers of audio, which won’t make much sense, unless you’re after a cacophonic result. I suspect you’ll be happier using just one of the audio outputs.

You need to apply it to something that has a color value in it, such as the tint effect color.
