Oh ok. Gotcha. Thanks again!

[Quest Rogers]

That did the trick. Thanks Dan! Out of curiosity what’s the ‘tm’ for? Time-marker?

[Quest Rogers]

Thanks for the explanation!

[Quest Rogers]

Thanks Max! This is exactly what I needed. I appreciate it. Out of curiosity what’s the “substr” part of that do?

[Quest Rogers]

Thanks Dan. This is exactly what I was looking for. I wrote of what you had except I was getting syntax errors for the lines with values. Thanks again!

[Quest Rogers]

Thanks again Dan! I’ll try this one out over the next couple days. Have a great weekend!

Thanks Dan. I appreciate you getting me started with this. I played with the expression you gave me. I understand it’s based on layer order in my comp. But how would I structure it so the value of the layers after the first one change based on the source text of the first layer and not layer order in my comp?

For example, I have two text layers in my comp that are both the number “3”. I want the first layer or my “Driver” layer’s source text to drive up or down the source text of the second layer while adding or subtracting 1.

So in this case since the “Driver” layer is “3” I want to the second text layer to change to “4” automatically. If I change the “Driver” layer to “2” I want to second layer to automatically change to “3”, etc.

I imagine this would start with something like “if” and takes whatever the source text is of my Driver layer while adding a value of one to that on the text layer I want to change. Correct?
