For a future me:

 

Thanks to Tristan on the fb groupe Ukramedia

it's bc of the separated dimensions! OR the language! (Slider = Schieberegler)

Does not work in Pr bc it's german: export through AME works, bc it is english.

 

and, as you sugested; use 1 instead "Slider". Pitty, the pickwhitp takes "Slider" not 1
 
It works like this. hell yeah, I did it without chatGPT

 

Slider1 = thisComp.layer("Shape Layer 1").effect("Slider Up down")(1);
Slider2 = thisComp.layer("Shape Layer 1").effect("Slider left right")(1);
[x=Slider2, y=Slider1]

so... it just works with the (1) trick and export throught AME.

even pitty in the first place, the pickwhipe does give a wrong expression.

ok, funny:

When I export the Pr sequenz through AME, then it works. But in the Pr sequenz I don't have a visual reference where the graphic is. (Render the sequence does not the job)

no, it noes not.
(Ae and Pr 25.1)

Ae is english, Pr is german, but i think, thats not the problem? (I can't change the language of Pr)

Hi @simon0815,

Thanks for reporting this issue. If you change the word "Slider" to 1, does it work? E.g. 

 

effect("Slider Control")(1);

 

Cheers,
