Linking Channels
You can create an expression by linking the behaviour of one channel to another using Copy and Link. You
can link different types of channels together. For example, make the scaling of a layer affect the rotation of
another layer, or blur a layer by linking it to the position of an axis. Any change that occurs in the position
of the axis is reflected dynamically in the layer blur.

1 Click Animation to display the Animation controls.
