I just bind the Position with an epression to an slider FX

 

effect("Slider Control")("Slider")

 

but in Premiere, the mogrt does not work. The slider is there, but nothing happens

Correct answer simon0815

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,
