...confusingly, the expression will sometimes continue to work on other layers in the same comp on both position and scale parameters whilst some get disabled.

Hi

The expression I'm using looks like this:

amp = .1;

freq = 2.0;

decay = 12.0;

n = 0;

if (numKeys > 0){ n = nearestKey(time).index;

if (key(n).time > time){ n--;

}} if (n == 0){ t = 0;

}else{ t = time - key(n).time;

} if (n > 0){ v = velocityAtTime(key(n).time - thisComp.frameDuration/10);

value + v*amp*Math.sin(freq*t*2*Math.PI)/Math.exp(decay*t);

}else{value}


It works most of the time then will randomly get disabled across lots of layers and will not allow me to re-enable until I've restarted AE (v5.5). This is the error:

After Effects warning: invalid numeric result (divide by zero?)

Expression disabled.


Error occurred at line 10.

Comp: 'XXX'

Layer 17 ('XXX')

Property: 'Scale'

I have no real knowledge of how expression code works. I cut and paste when I use them. The project is 4 minutes long and the expression occurs across many comps and typically as the deadline approaches the error is now cropping up often. Any help appreciated.


Thanks.
