1. Re: How do I parent the Mirror effect to a layer's position?
Rick Gerard Mar 16, 2013 9:37 PM (in response to Modus21)This is a real simple one. Alt/Option click on the stop watch for Mirror > Reflection Center and then drag the expression pickwhip to the position property of the layer you want to use as the target. If the layer's name is 'target' then your expression would look like this:
thisComp.layer("target").transform.positionMy preferred modification to this expression is to simply add a value + statement at the beginning. This gives you the opportunity to also throw in keyframes for both Reflection center and your Target layer. It just gives you more options. To make it work first set Reflection Center position to 0,0
The modified expression looks like this:
value + thisComp.layer("target").transform.position
