Hi Dan,

I’ve put in what you wrote, but get an error.

Says:

After Effects warning: Expected: ]
Expression Disabled

Error occurred at line 2.
Comp: ‘Radio’
Layer: 1 (‘radio left speaker’)
Property: ‘Scale’

Yep. Perfect. I’ll try that Dan.

Thanks!

Hi Dan,

Thanks. I’m trying to increase and decreases circle while maintaining a circle, rather than squashing and squeezing it too.

Track Matte works a beaut, however, I do notice the same issue with the 3D camera.

Basically if I apply a mask or Track Matte before I do a 3D camera move, layers don’t move (that have either effect applied to them) as other layers do.

Applying after ensures that the camera move is correct.

Is this just a bug of AE?

Of course! How did I forget this!

Thanks Dan tho that just fried my brain. Is there an easy way to do it with an expression control maybe?

Thanks. Got illustrator to add in cross hairs in AI, but still not perfect. It’ll do!

My illustrator did them in ai. I don’t have access to ai.

Sorry – done.

It seemed it was because I had added the comp I was trying to put it in into the comp as a guide. So I guess this caused some kind of feedback loop in AE and wouldn’t allow it.

Nice work! Perfect. Thanks – should work.
