Hi Dan! Thanks for helping me out!

I’ve adapted your expression to my needs and it seems to be correct, it should return time when layer x position is less or equal to null x position… But ae returns an error:

“Function trackValue.valueAtTime is undefined”

What am I doing wrong?

goalNull = thisComp.layer("null");

goalPos = goalNull.toWorld(goalNull.anchorPoint);
layPos = thisLayer.toWorld(thisLayer.anchorPoint);
trackValue = layPos[0]-goalPos[0];

check = false;
for (f = 0; f <= timeToFrames(); f++){
t = framesToTime(f);
if (trackValue.valueAtTime(t) <= 0 ){
check = true;
break;
}
}
if (check)
t;
else
time;

I know this method. But in this case if I have 1000 clones then for example only 100 will be visible and in order for 1000 to be visible I’ll need to increase clones number to 10000 which is not very efficient way and will influence computer productivity… So I wonder if there a better more efficient way to distribute clones so all 1000 assigned by map?

Thanks anyway!

Deleting folder didn’t help to, there is no additional plugins and codes used…

Unknown Exception message pops up. Also this same file opens fine on other Computer with Mac OS. Updating AE Or turning on CAPS LOCK before opening file did not help.

Thanks for replay.
Image sequence is actually eyes blinking and I want to animate it.
That simple expression may work fine for this, I’ll try it.
Thanks again.
