Oh one pice of information i forgot to mention, Null 1 also has the position linked to Null 2 position. That’s why i have to take that into account on the formula

I see your point, but if i remove null2 the layer jumps position to another place in the comp.

Thats unfortunate. Okay thank you. Do you think its possible to fix that offset of the Null 1 when the checkbox is on? I can’t for the life of me figure it out…

Also here’s the project file if you want to take a look

Sorry Dan, English is not my first language, so it might be difficult to translate ideas, if it helps this is what i tried:

It mostly works, if i uncheck the checkbox the layer stops following Null 1, the problem is that when i check the box for it to follow again, the layer has an offset and its moving more than it should.

var checkbox =…

Hi Dan,

What I mean is that all three nulls should be able to move Null1 as if it were a regular null. However, I want to add a checkbox that allows me to toggle whether Null2 can control Null1’s position. The checkbox doesn’t need to be keyframed, although that would be a plus if it could. But this should all work with no keyframes at all and if…

Hi,

Is it possible to link the position of a null object (let’s call it “Null1”) to 3 other nulls, where each of these nulls can independently influence Null1’s position? Additionally, I’d like to add a checkbox control on Null1 that allows me to disable the influence of null 2.

For example, if the checkbox for “Null2” is unchecked, Null2 should…

Hi Dan,

Thanks again, everything is working perfectly!

I have one more question that might be a bit of a stretch: would it be possible for the red dots layer to scale up not just when the circle size changes, but also proportionally when the stroke width is adjusted?

I’ve attached a screenshot for reference, and I’ve also uploaded the AE project if…

Dan, as always you are genius.

Is there also a way to maintain de stroke Width of the circle as the values of the circle size path increases? so everything goes up proportionally ?

Hello everyone,

It’s pretty much as my title says, Is there an expression that can link the scale of a layer to the size of a Circle Path layer so when I increase the size of the Circle Path in the shape layer the other layer scales proportionally.

is this possible?

I managed to somehow link them, but they are not exact it not scaling proportionally.…

Hi.

I usually use this expression to control the second keyframe with a slider (works well when i just have 2 keyframes), but what if i have 4 keyframes, and i want to control the second and the third keyframes with the same slider? It’s possible to adapt this expression? The first and fourth keyframe should keep their defined position.

prop =…

Worked perfectly Dan! You’re a life saviour! Thank you!

Hi. I have this shape layer with a rectangle path inside and i used an expression to separate the size property “x” and “y” because i needed to animate the shape from a circle to a rectangle depending on the size of the text (I managed to figure out this part). But i can’t seem to make the shape adapt to both texts depending on the size of both…

Yeah you’re right!

Thanks Filip!

After trying around i’ve managed to do it with this simple expression applied to the “x” position of “John” layer.

Now everything is centred all the time.

transform.xPosition - (thisComp.layer("• This text layer adapts").sourceRectAtTime().width/2)

Hi Filip, this worked perfectly. Is there also a way to keep everything centred to the composition when you type on the second text? Typing on the first text everything is aligned to the centre, but when i type on the second text the shape only expands to the right and doesn’t centre.

Thank you so much for your help! Appreciated.

Hello everyone.

I would like to know if it’s possible to have 2 separate text layers side by side inside a shape, with the shape adapting in size to both texts and both texts adapting to each other. I know how to make it with a single text layer but i cant warp my head around with 2 text layers.

Something like in the image and i really need it… Read more
