Hello AE geniuses,
Hope you're well.
I'm working on a personal project at the moment where I have about 20-30 layers per comp and about 12 comps need similar working doing.
Each layer is parented to the below layer (found a script for that one).

I need to be able pickwhip each layers rotation and scale values to an adjustment layer with two expression sliders i.e. one for rotation and one for scale.
At the momemt I'm doing it by 'hand'! i.e. alt-clicking stopwatches and pickwicking etc. Very tedious.
Is there a script or an expression line that could help automate this.

Thank you for reading this.

Hi Jimmy,
You could make the expressions only once (for the first layer) and then select those properties you've made expression for (rotation and scale) (using CTRL you could select multiple properties), copy the expressions by:
Edit -> Copy Expression Only
and then paste them to all other layers by selecting all desired layers and using CTRL+V.

Koby.
