This was very useful, but it sent me down an internet hole trying to figure out what the ",10" was doing in the parseInt function. I discovered that it designates the numeric system as base-10 (i.e. decimal). Apparently, if you leave that out of the expression, base-10 is automatically assumed. Why did you add it here? ...

I need to do time-consuming renders from AE (as opposed to Media Encoder which doesn't support premultiplied alpha exports). But I have a lot of work to do, so I need to continue using AE while it renders.   Looking through the page you linked to, it sounds like what I need to do is:   1) Add my renders to the render cue, set my render settings and filename 2) Save my AE project 3) Open the command prompt and enter the following command: aerender -project c:\projects\project_1.aep (where the location and file name are those of the project I just saved)   Is that right? ...

Oh, that's good to know. Thanks! And anything for the other direction, i.e. which JavaScript functions, like easeInOutSine(), won't work when used in AE? ... View more

Thanks for the reply, but I'm not having any problems with extensions beyond what's available in JavaScript, I'm having problems with functions not being the same - such as the "ease" functions I mentioned.

Does anyone have any input on this? I'm in the middle of  big project and I can't get the warning banner to go away and so I'm not getting legit warnings in the case of a real broken expression. Attached is a project file (containing only two solids and a single comp) demonstrating this issue. ... View more

I attached the project file. Do you need anything else? What do you think? ... View more

To summarize why I was doing that:   I had a bunch of 3D layers that I animated the relative Z position of using a single slider multiplied by index numbers. Then, for a different moment in the composition, I needed a duplicate of all of the 3D animated layers, but I needed them not to be 3D layers anymore, so I turned off the 3D layer buttons for all of them. When I did that, I got a pile of warnings of broken expressions, but the broken expressions don't seem to exist. The broken expressions are all on Z Position properties that no longer exist. There's no yellow triangle with exclamation marks next to any properties. When I click the magnifying glass on the warning banner, it doesn't bring me to a broken expression. Take a look at the example project I've sent to see what I mean. By the way, the posterize time expression works fine. It takes the value of the layer and returns it with posterized time. I have no problem with those. The warning banner is saying the errors are on the Z position properties which no longer exist. ... View more

You must not have looked at the post I was referring to at the bottom of the thread with the test project. I'll paste it here and attach the project file. As a test, I created a fresh new project and a new comp. In the comp I added two solids. I made the solids 3D layers, and pickwhipped the Z position of one solid to the Z position of the other solid (see screenshot 1).   Then I turned off the 3D layer switch for both layers and am now getting an expression error warning (see screenshot 2).   ...

This must be a bug.   As a test, I created a fresh new project and a new comp. In the comp I added two solids.

Here is a screenshot showing that the error warning is saying there's an error on a property ('Z Position') that doesn't exist. ... View more

Sorry, see this screenshot instead.     ... View more

I've been working on it, so that particular layer is now 12. I've twirled down ALL properties of the layer and fully expanded the expression field for the only expression on the layer. As you can see in the screenshot, there's no yellow triangle with an exclamation mark next to it. And the warning (also shown in the screenshot, says the expression error is on the 'Z Position', and the layer doesn't have a Z position property. The expression code for the only expression on that layer is as follows:   posterizeTime(comp("Endo Opening Main").layer("Control").effect("Posterize Time Frame Rate")("Slider")); value   The "Posterise Time Frame Rate" slider referred to by that expression exists and this expression is working fine. ...

I twirled down the warning banner, and found more info (see screenshot). It looks like it's saying that the expression errors are on properties that no longer exist. Specifically, I had a comp full of 3D layers with separated dimensions, and expressions on the Z positions. Then I made them all 2D layers, so the Z positions are all gone. This is where the warning is saying the expression errors are. By the way, saying "this is all explained in the user guide" is pretty condesending. I'm here because I actually have a problem, not because I'm an idiot that doesn't try to do research before asking a question.     ... View more

I've tried all that. There's no expression errors anywhere. And the number of expressions listed as having errors in the composition panel warning keeps changing. 19, 2, 6.... ... View more
