Hi James,

First, I would like to thank you for taking your time for helping me out. I used to use time remap because I thought that was the way to go, looking at all those tutorials online. But your solution by using the opacity slider makes more sense. I tried it by deleting my time remap expressions and using your opacity expression, but the If statement is not working. I also like your ‘complicated’ layer name parsin, but I don’t understand how to use it in production and how it exactly works. I really would like to learn it! Would it be to much to ask you if you reuse my AE project file with your settings? Your help is much appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Ash,

Thanks for your responds!
For me as a newbie with no experience in expressions, I found it hard to believe that there is no simple code fix for this. I am just doing 2d character stuff with AE just a few months now and I don’t know if our workflow is so different than all other character animators out there. Having multiple faces attached with expressions is quite straight forward. I hope that someone is willing to help us out here. Fingers crossed!

Hi Pierpaolo,

Thanks for giving answer to my problem, with pre-comps which are not triggert inside ae expressions while making keys . How can I add this line inside my expression?

framesToTime(comp("ellen_head").layer("Mouth_CTRL").effect("Mouth")("Slider"))

Hi Ash,

I saw your thread about this pre-comp animation issue.
Did you find a solution? I have the same problem and I can’t fix it!
Hope to hear from you.
