Question

Linked position from pre comp to point control will work until keyframing

I have the position of a text layer linked to a point control that is on its precomp, and I can use the control to adjust the position but it doesn't work when I set a keyframe.

 

I have tried having the control on adjustment layers, seperating dimensions and having two slider controls, but it doesn't seem to be able to use keyframes for linked properties from one comp to another.

 

Any help?

I only pick whiped the postion of a layer from one comp to the point control in its precomp. No customized expression.

It works until I try to make a second keyframe.

Try it this way (I may not have typed your comp and layer names correctly, so watch for typos):

 

C = comp("ED 22 212 Instinct Hunting boots in Studio BOOT 1 V1 Ready for GFX");
L = C.layer("Instinct CallOut Template2");
L.effect("TextPosition")("Point").valueAtTime(time + L.startTime)
