Hi Dan,

Here is what I ended up with to adjust for hand anchor position versus where I will attach his rappelling rope to the null. Also used the same basic expression for the top hand.

Thank you,

Mac

/* Left Hand xPosition */

L1 = comp(“rappeller”).layer(“man hand lf”);

p1 = L1.toComp(L1.anchorPoint);

L2 = thisComp.layer(“rappeller”);

p2 = L2.toComp(p1);

p2[0]-5

/* Left Hand yPosition */

L1 = comp(“rappeller”).layer(“man hand lf”);

p1 = L1.toComp(L1.anchorPoint);

L2 = thisComp.layer(“rappeller”);

p2 = L2.toComp(p1);

p2[1]+5

/* Right Hand xPosition */

L1 = comp(“rappeller”).layer(“man hand rt”);

p1 = L1.toComp(L1.anchorPoint);

L2 = thisComp.layer(“rappeller”);

p2 = L2.toComp(p1);

p2[0]-5

/* Right Hand yPosition */

L1 = comp(“rappeller”).layer(“man hand rt”);

p1 = L1.toComp(L1.anchorPoint);

L2 = thisComp.layer(“rappeller”);

p2 = L2.toComp(p1);

p2[1]-8

Thank you Dan. I will give it a try. The one thing you recognized that escaped me was the need to anchor the relative positions within the rappeller precomp. His composition is 1200 x 804px and the comp he is imported into is 1200 x 2400 so the rappeller precomp exists at 20% scale.

See attached rappeller man comp.

As always, so appreciative of your help and guidance.

Thank you,

Mac

It worked perfectly.

Dan, Thank you for the concept. I will study it, learn from it, try it. I read your post on time control in your blog which was also most educational, particularly in reference to the easing aspects of the range.
