I want to make a expression related to time duration of "MainComp".

To the "MainComp" follow time duration of other Composition.

Mylenium is right, you can't act on compositions with expressions.

However, there are some workarounds.

_you can precompose your comp and put an expression on it's timeRemap.

_another solution is to add an adjustment layer on the top of your comp. On this adjustment layer, you can add a "time" effect (time distort for example) and link its timecode value via expression.

First solution is the simplest and gives the best results, the second is only if you absolutly can't precompose.

Cheers,

François

    ‌No. Expressions cannot modify comp properties.
