That's a little vague. The expression works for me. What sort of issues are you having?

This is what is showing immediately i opened my project file.. i really dont understand where the problem is myself

[Dan Ebberts]

Hard to say without being able to see everything, but if I had to guess, I'd say you may have the expression engine set to Legacy Extendscript (in File > Project Settings), or something has happened to the sliders the expressions are looking for on the Control layer.

This is the warning error message am getting am a little bit rusty when it comes to understanding expressions and all, i have tried switching my expression engine between Legacy ExtendsScript and Java Script still no changes. Can you help me with some basic advice i can use to correct this please. Thanks a lot... i hope to get a response soon

setLeading is one of the new Expression methods. Ensure you have the latest version of AE.

oops! i have cc2019 installed for now, is there a kind of temporary fix that can help me work around this problem pending the time i install the latest version of AE? if there is kindly assist me with it... thanks

There's no temp fix. You can however install CC2020 and still retain a functional version of CC2019. Just ensure you don't allow for the option to delete previous versions.

🥺oops!.. I guess I have no other option than to install the latest version then.

Thanks for helping out✌😇
