October 20, 2014 at 5:48 pm in reply to: text box triggers cursor change- trigger based on a layer’s boundaries

so if i apply this expression to a checkbox control effect I get the warning- expected: ) error occurred at line 5.

I what I am hoping is that this expression will generate on or off for the checkbox control and then I will use the result to drive an if else expression on my cursor layers.

Did I apply the expression correctly?

Thank you very much, Dan.
I’m not able to try it out right now but does this work for shape layers?

Yes just rectangular and rounded rectangle shapes.
The layer itself doesn’t really matter because I could create any type of layer (solid, PSD, ext…)
to act as the triggering layer.
Thanks!

Thanks for the answer, I guess it’s manual work for me because I wouldn’t know how to script that.
So does that mean that there can’t be an expression that would reposition a text layer to maintain it’s right edge as the text is updated?

Ok, I used an SGI sequence and it finally worked.

Well, I wasn’t covering the entire image with a spline to make the layer, so I did that but still the matte clip does not show up after I import.
When I go to the clip module the name of the matte I imported is in the drop down but when selected all I see is black.
Is there a particular codec that is preferred?
Is there a tutorial out there that utilizes this feature so I can see it in action?
Thanks!

First I tried prores out of AE6.
Then I tried lossless 265 greys 8bit.
I also tried a jpeg sequence.
Mocha Pro always indicated that the clip would have to be converted to 8bit greyscale. There is a checkbox in the clip module to convert to 8bit so I checked that anyway.
Nothing happens.
I haven’t been able to find much more than a mention in the Mocha doc that you can import a matte clip to replace splines on a layer.
I haven’t seen any tutorials that use matte clips.
Anyone see any out there?
Thanks!

I want to expand the spline boundaries not scale the whole thing.

The difference is noticeable when applying to odd shapes.

As always you rock!
I was over thinking it, I guess, by by writing:

var idx = thisLayer(index);

or perhaps I was invoking some other aspect of the expression that doesn’t return the value of the layer’s index

Thanks again
