Expression for layer visibility

[BoERS]

Why not simply use the opacity channel?

I'd like make some foolproof settings for this project as it contains a lot of versions of the same film, different logos etc. It would be a quick way to make sure the correct logo is displayed in each of the versions by simply toggling a master-layer and have the update ripple through the entire project. I could use opacity (no pun intended) in a transform effect (since the opacity channels are allready animated), but I'd rather use layer visibility, thus the question cus I wasn't sure it's possible ;)

Me thinks that the visibility toggle is just there to make life a bit simpler for us... No way to animate it... Sorry...

MiKEY :annoyed:

You could throw in a layer that each object of the different versions reference.

In other words you could throw in a solid (it could be null or whatever) object with a name of "objects_a" and have the other objects reference it with this code : this_comp.layer("objects_a").opacity

obviously the expression needs to go in the opacity channel...
