I am trying to pick whip a point to a null to control another element with the point movement.

I don't think you can pick whip a point directly, but you could pick whip the path, to end up with something like this:

temp = thisComp.layer("Shape Layer 1").content("Shape 1").content("Path 1").path;
[temp, temp]

The you could modify it to something like this:

L = thisComp.layer("Shape Layer 1");
L.toComp(L.content("Shape 1").content("Path 1").path.points()[0])

Then modify the number in brackets ([0]) until you end up on the point you want. Or, just use the Create Nulls From Paths script to attach nulls to all the points and delete the ones you don't want.

Hi babak pouradam,

 

Thanks for writing in.

You can try Window > Create Nulls From Path. Here's a YouTube video for help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnsQH-Ljn-Q&ab_channel=MotionDesignSchool

Let us know if it helps.

 

Thanks,

Nishu
