Re: PhotoFlow like Effect

Hi all:
This is my first post in this wonderful forum.
I´m After Effects user, not an specialist, and a begineer in relation with expressions.
I liked the posts about the Photoflow effect, even both proposals, from Paul and from Atomic.
I was playing with these projects and I have some questions about them:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is fairly easy to extend as well. Simply duplicate expression layers as needed and do a CTRL-ALT-/ to replace solid with footage.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For me this commands does not work at all : CTR+ALT+/ I tested in both projects and without any results. So one of my questions goes around:
1.- Taking several duplicated layers from only one white solid, as the project, how can I replace anyone with a footage individually??? or do I have to create new solids, and copy from the existing one and paste all the effects in my new solids? In the case of the Reflection composition, do I have to do the same as before to get the reflections of my new ones??
2.- Using one of these projects, after replacing the solids with my videos, how can I get at the bottom of every layer the same image , in order, that with I fly with the camera around the composition, I could see the same image at the front and at the back of every layer, the same as a mirror or something like that, and not to get a black image at the back, do I have to use another type of expression to get this?
3.-Why I could orbit with the camera only in the Reflection composition and not creating a new one in the main comp ? or do I have to create another comp to do this?
These were my doubts.
Thanks for your time and your support for the whole community.
Again thanks mainly to Paul and also the second work from Atomic.
