I am trying to make a Christmas intro and keep getting this error when I try to combine the null animation with the particle animation.

I am currently following a tutorial at this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLahjLuKI88 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLahjLuKI88

And cant seem to fix the problem. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    You need to expose the Position property of the Null, then drag the expression pickwhip to that, resulting in this expression (or just copy and paste it in from here):

    thisComp.layer("Null 1").transform.position

    This expression is very basic, so can you post a screenshoot including your layer, and layer property where we can see the expression that give you this error.
