Re: Grab average color of layer to determine the color for another effect?

actually, i'll make one slight change to the expression.

target = thisComp.layer("Royal Blue Solid 2"); // this would be the layer that you want to sample the color from
h = target.height / 2;
w = target.width / 2;
target.sampleImage(target.anchorPoint, radius = [w, h], postEffect = true, t = time);

the change was to the last line, rather than using the anchorPoint of the layer with the effect for the 'sample point', it's probably better to use the target layer's anchor point.
