For some reason, this no longer works.

Does anyone have any other ideas??

Driving me nuts.

SOLVED!

System Preferences > Security > Full Disk Access > Enable After Effects.

Also check Files & Folders for good measure.

Yes, it’s not that. Even dragging the aep on to the Ae icon doesn’t work.

This is great, thanks! But why can’t I do something like:

hsla = rgbToHsl(value);
newColor = hsla * [1, .5, .5, 1];
hslToRgb(newColor);

This gives me error “one argument must be scalar.”

That works great, thanks!

[Ze’ev Gilad]

Yes, thank you so much. All working better now!

[Ze’ev Gilad]

OMG, Can’t believe I didn’t check that. Thanks!

[Ze’ev Gilad]

Hey, did you ever find a way to do this?
thanks!

Dan saves my ass … again!

To center a text layer vertically, apply this expression to the Anchor of the text layer:

s=sourceRectAtTime();[0,s.top+s.height/2]+value

This will move the Anchor Point to the true vertical center of the text block. You can then tweak the values to adjust.

This works for single lines, multiline, and even text blocks.
