  Automatic text animation using In and Out points

  Posted by Matt Volp on April 28, 2017 at 5:04 pm

  Hi all,

  I want to animate the scale of a text layer automatically based on it’s In and Out points.

  So far I have added a scale animator to the layer and adjusted the parameters accordingly. Now I want it to animate it in over 2 seconds from where the In point is, and animate out over 2 seconds before the Out point.

  I imagine it is an easy fix; any ideas?

  Thanks!

  I guess you could use something like this for the Range Selector Amount property:

  
if (time < inPoint+2)
linear(time,inPoint,inPoint+2,0,100)
else
linear (time,outPoint-2,outPoint,100,0)
