is it possible to use two expressions at once?

[iklimd]

dear community, i would like to use multiple expressions in the function menu. as seen in the picture, rightt now the data from mocha iiss fillinf up the expression space. i would like to add smooth and clamp functions too. how can i do that?

thanks in advance

Of course you can expand and modify any expression as you see fit:

mCorner=effect("Corner Pin")(1);

min=0;
max=500;

X=clamp(min,max,mCorner[0]);
Y=clamp(min,max,mCorner[1]);

[X,Y]

smooth(0.2,5,time)

Naturally, you'll have to fill in some real values as needed for your project here.

thanks a lot!

hi Mylenium,

now that  i realized that both expressions are not active. only the last expression works. as in this case, only smooth expression is active. any suggestions?

thanks again for your help, i appreciate it a lot

Generally, when you combine two expressions, you assign the result of the first expression to a variable and then incorporate that variable into the calculation for the second expression. In your case though, smooth() only works on the pre-expression value of the property, so you can't do clamp, then smooth, only smooth, then clamp, which would be like this (but probably isn't what you want):

s = smooth(.5,11);
min=[97.0,97.0];
max = [103.0,103.0]
clamp(s,min,max);

hi dan, thanks a lot for your quick response. a pleasure to see you in e-person! yes, it is not exactly what i wanted but i am a beginner in expressions and i am very much satisfied. thanks a lot again
