Ok, there is a possibility that my brain is just not ready for this sort of math/scripting, but I will try to explain where I am having trouble and maybe you can help or point me to a link that may help.

So if I am understanding this correctly…

the remainder of (time * s)/thisComp.height=y (where it will appear on the y-axis)

So if it was (300*100)/720 then the answer would be 41.666 and the position on the y-axis would be whatever .666 converts to as a remainder.

Is that correct?

Thanks! That helped tremendously. Interesting that it doubled the render time, but it works. And that is what matters.

If it isn’t too much trouble, could you explain how the “% thisComp.height” makes it only repeat one tile? I am not very good with expressions yet and that is the only part of the expression I did not understand. I am trying to wrap my head around it, but it is not happening.

Well I learned something new in that I did not know that OpenGL rendering was not defaulted to “on” when sending to render queue. However, that means that it wasn’t checked for the render I did.

Thanks for the quick responses. I fixed it by checking the “continually raster” boxes on the layers. I am not sure why that fixed the problem, but it did the trick.

[Michael Josefik]

Awesome, thank you so much.

This thread was very helpful in a similar issue that I had, however I was wondering if you could expand on it. What if, using this example, you wanted the number to be orange, and you wanted the %-symbol to be black? Can you achieve color change within one line of text using expressions?

[Michael Josefik]

Well I guess I was on the right track. Thanks for the help I am getting a much better result.
