Very old topic, but this came on top of my Google search. I thought the methods were too much effort for my project. What did the trick for me was toggling the ‘motion blur’ option. That made the front of the moving patch blurry and worked for what I wanted to accomplish. Hope it will work for others too, because it’s a very easy option!

Thanks for the fast reply!

With if (a = b) I always get the first (if) value
With if (a == b) I always get the second (else) value,

regardless of the y-position’s being the same or not.

The y-position of the pin-layer gets it’s value from a script. And the pin-layer is a guide layer (does that make a difference?)

I tried it too with:

s = (a-b);

if (s = 0) etc.

but this gives me the same result

Hi, thanks for the update. This is almost working for me. But not quite. Hope someone will come to the rescue!

It works great for single line texts, but if you add another line, the position of that text layer won’t change. You’ll end up with screwed layout.

Is there anyone who’s got an answer how to fix this? Maybe add the total height of the text layer above.. I don’t know how (yet).
