  Link a work area to a slider

  Posted by Emine Bergsoj on July 1, 2022 at 9:06 am

  Hi everybody!!

  I’d like to find a way to allow users to modify the moment when the animation out is played. I joined a screenshot; the yellow area is the animation out, defined by a marker (work area). Is it possible to link this work area/the end of a layer (pink arrow) to a slider ?

  
  

  I hope you will understand what I mean… ^^

  Thanks,

  It would depend on how you have your out animation set up, but you could do something like this:

  t = Math.max(time - thisComp.layer("CTRL").effect("DURATION IN SEC")("Slider"),0);
  valueAtTime(t)

  Thanks for your answer Dan,

  But I tried and it doesn’t work… On wich parameter do I have to tape this?

  I think I was assuming Time Remap.
