Thanks, but that setting didn’t seem to be checked. I did find the fix to my problem, however limited. The source of my problem may have been the multiple layers using Track Matte Key. I opted for one matte of both boxes and one nested sequence with the Track Matte Key FX applied. This seemed to preserve the aspect ratio of the matte on both…

Hi there! I have two instances of a text layer’s Tint Effect being colored based on user-input values. So there’s ‘fade’ in/out of the color blue. Everything works except for the 2nd round of variables appended with a ‘2’

var cti = timeToFrames();
var tli = thisComp.layer("Controller").effect("TarLight 1 on")("Slider")
var tlo =…
