What's the specific benefit of the try statement if there's an if statement, also is there something else that can be put into the parenthesis catch(err)?
try catch is good if you're not sure the condition will exist, like checking for a layer or an expression control that may get deleted. An if else would return an expression error but a try catch will allow you to set a fallback in the catch. Super useful for templates!
@@Animoplex thanks, makes a lot of sense! One other thing I wanted to ask is what you're using to show that pop up box when you're live typing an expression. You have this bespoke container all zoomed in. I must know
Gonna have to watch this 10 times to understand
You are awesome! Thanks for the great tutorials

That's a post production effect to allow for better legibility!
@@Animoplex yes it seems that way to me also. But the text is behaving like you're typing it live even in the pop up box. How is that text being done?
