Linking a keyframe to a specific slider control value
Hello again:
so here is what i got
i got an ellipse shape with trim paths which contains two keyframes
the first one has the the value 0 the second one should be the value a slider control has at this time and keep it for the rest of the compi tried this expression:
if (numKeys > 1){
t1 = key(1).time;
t2 = key(2).time;
v1 = 0;
v2 = effect("Slider Control")("Slider");
linear(time,t1,t2,v1,v2);
}else
valuebut it doesnt work because the slider control itself has no changing value

Hey Tobias,
Not sure what you are trying to do.
The expression is fine, if you are wanting to change the input of Keyframe 2 with a value defined by your slider.
but it doesnt work because the slider control itself has no changing value
How do you want the value to change? Based off what you described firstly, your expression is fine.

>the second one should be the value a slider control has at this time
At which time? Your expression works the way I would expect it to–the value ramps from zero to whatever the slider is set to over the period defined by the two keyframes on the property with the expression.

First of all thanks for the fast answer
So i want the following
I have a slider control that changes its value over time
now i want another layer, lets say an ellipse with trim paths, to adapt the values of the slider control up to a certain point in time and hold the last value it got
the problem with my expression here is that the slider control itself doesn’t change its values -
>I have a slider control that changes its value over time
>the slider control itself doesn’t change its values
I’m lost.
