Nice collection of methods, some good stuff there, well done.I think the expression bit on the Twilight ZWN is a bit too cumbersome though.
First of all, your still using key frames on the null, while you could wiggle the checkbox.
And then, just calculate for the top layer:
opacity = opacity * checkbox marker.
No need for if/then, and no need for an expression on the lower layer.
Cheerio
