Hi @JohnColombo17100380

Thank you very much for your promptly reply!

My OS version:
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19044.2846]

After Effects version:

23.3.0 (Build 53)

However, the same as @ConstantinMaier mentioned, I currently have no idea how I can reproduce the issue. The issue didn't happen at once as if it was okay, it came after a while, very strange. Hope the information helps.

Over the years, I've been having various issues when using expressions on Effect Opacity properties too. Sometimes expression errors, sometimes the effect misbehaving (producing weird results). These issues disappear once I remove the expression. Unfortunately, I don't have a current example as I also don't know how to reproduce it as it seems to happen somewhat randomly. Nevertheless, I +1 the bug report.

Hi @Gnefnap,

Thank you for reporting this error. Could you please provide a list of the actions/steps you took to apply the erroring expression? The screenshot shows that Copy with Property Links might have been involved. It would also be helpful to know specific what version of After Effects you are using, as well as your OS version.

Thanks for reporting this issue and for any further information you can provide,
