Vector Result Modifier

Vector Result exposes two scalar inputs (X Component, Y Component) and outputs a 2D vector you can use as the value of a Point parameter.

Unlike animating a Point directly, here you can have fully independent behaviors for X and Y (e.g. X linear with time, Y a sine wave through Expression, X driven by a Probe...).

• Right-click a 2D parameter (Point / Position) → Modify With → Vector Result.
• Creates a Vector Result node linked to the target parameter.

X Component

Scalar value feeding the X component of the vector. Can be linked to any slider, expression or modifier.

Y Component

Scalar value feeding Y. Independent of X.

Output

2D vector (X, Y) feeding the target parameter.

Split 2D animation:
Position (Transform.Center) → Vector Result
   X Component = Slider1 (animated linearly 0 → 100)
   Y Component = Expression: 50 + math.sin(time * 0.1) * 20
   = a position where X slides linearly and Y oscillates

Drive Position with two different Probes:
WaveformVis ─→ Probe (X = position X) ─┐
                                       ├── Vector Result
EnergyVis  ─→ Probe (Y = position Y) ─┘
                                          ↓
                                   Target position

Mix of two trackers:
Tracker1.Position.X ─→ Vector Result.X ─┐
                                        ├── output
Tracker2.Position.Y ─→ Vector Result.Y ─┘

X Component

First component of the vector. Accepts: a fixed value, a linked slider, a Lua expression, another scalar modifier (Calculation, Expression, Probe).

Y Component

Second component. Fully independent of X.

Output (read-only)

Resulting 2D vector. Can be referenced with VectorResult1.Output from other expressions.

• Independent X and Y animation - X linear with time, Y a sine oscillation = a stepped or wavy trajectory without animating a Point directly.
• Mixing two Trackers - take X from one tracker and Y from another = a hybrid trajectory.
• Audio-driven 2D motion - two Probes on audio visualizations (waveform for X, energy for Y) = a 2D position that reacts to the music.
• Splitting different logic - X driven by an exposed Slider, Y computed by a formula = a hybrid manual/automatic workflow.
• 2D Center animation - for Glow, Defocus, etc. whose center has to follow a complex, composable trajectory.

• 2D parameters only - Vector Result only works on Point parameters. For scalars, use Calculation or Expression.
• Link the inputs to modifiers - the real power comes when X and Y point to Calculation, Expression, Probe or Track.
• Neutral performance - it simply combines 2 scalars into a vector. No significant cost.
• Combine it with the Track modifier - Track on X (a horizontal subject) and Track on Y (a vertical subject) through Vector Result = a split 2D tracking mix.
• Chain them for complex formulas - X = Calculation A op B, Y = another chain = a modular workflow.
• For simple 2D animation (linear path, curve), prefer the Path modifier, which is built for that.
