  Targeting Layer name

  Posted by Adam Levine on April 26, 2016 at 5:49 pm

  I’ve this little expression. As in the expression I want to change “End” time marker from different layer as set the “number” slider. But it doesn’t work. Can you please help me to fix what I did wrong.
  (Misc mean layer name) I’ve created several Misc layer such as Misc 1, Misc 2, …etc. And every layers have two Markers.

  Start = thisComp.layer("Misc 1").marker.key(1).time;

  var number = effect("Slider Control")(1).value;
  (Layer).name = Misc number;

  End = thisComp.layer(Layer).marker.key(2).time;

  x = linear(time, Start, End, 300, 2000);

  [x, value[1]]

  Like this maybe:

  Start = thisComp.layer(“Misc 1”).marker.key(1).time;
  n = Math.round(effect(“Slider Control”)(1).value);
  End = thisComp.layer(“Misc ” + n).marker.key(2).time;
  x = linear(time, Start, End, 300, 2000);
  [x, value[1]]
