  pause a keyframe without copying it

  Posted by Mohannad Talafeeh on December 10, 2011 at 1:14 am

  hi , I am looking for an expression that makes the key frame to pause for a while without the need to copy the same keyframe and offsetting it ,keeping in mind that I don’t want to get the hold keyframe style ,what I want is that the keyframe holds its value for a given amount of time then it animates toward the next key.

  thanks

  Try this:

  
holdTime = .5;
n = 0;
if (numKeys > 0){
n = nearestKey(time).index;
if (key(n).time > time) n--;
}

  if (n > 0 && n < numKeys){
t = linear(time,key(n).time+holdTime,key(n+1).time,key(n).time,key(n+1).time);
valueAtTime(t);
}else
value
