    Can you dup (Ctrl D) the sky layer then use Distort>Corner Pin to put it where you want? You can even flip/reverse the image by moving the pins. Also drop the Transparency (to 20-30% ?)on the Reflected sky layer so you can see the windows underneath. By dupping the layer, the movement of the clouds are identical.

    Does this do what you want?

    The cleanest way to do it is Add the slider to a null layer, name it something like Slider Control, and then set up the expression (pickwhip) to that slider, then do what Colin said above.

    People often set up Nulls as control layers even with several controls, then they’re easy to fnd even for someone who didn’t set it up.

    I thought the Checkbox Control was applicable, I just didn’t know how, Thanks for the Checkbox expression.

    What expression? Many times you can setup an expression tied to a Slider, then leave the slider at “0” until you want the expression to kick in, but somtimes this doesn’t work, it depends on the property and expression.

    For example, the common Wiggle expression for position:

    wiggle (5,20)

    If you add a slider to the layer, then highlight the “5” in the wiggle expression, then pickwhip the highlighted 5 to the Slider, the epression changes to:

    wiggle (effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”),20)

    and the slider at “0” tells the expression 0 Frequency on the wiggle, so nothing wiggles. You can also put a slider in place of the “20” (Amplitude).

    Give an example of the expression, por favor.

    Hey, I’m still AE7-less, but in all previous AE’s go to:

    Edit>Preferences>Import

    and under “Still Footage”, click the time one, set to whatever you want for standard, like say 10 seconds (0:00:10:00).

    That should make all your psd Imports as compositions at 10 seconds.
