  Time remap control by a drop menu?

  Posted by Nicolas Gamz on October 1, 2023 at 5:46 pm

  Hi every one! I’m stuck in a huge project. A have a bunch of precomps that will be time remapped to play different loop at different time. To avoid copy pasting keyframes, i would like to keyframe a drop menu that will loop different part of the animation. I dont know if i’m clear, but i ask chat gpt but i’m the comp stuck at 0 or play the comp normaly.

  // Define the dropdown menu effect

  menuEffect = effect(“Timeremap_Ctrl”)(“Menu”);

  // Define the time remap ranges

  ranges = {

  “01”: [0, 14],

  “02”: [15, 44],

  “03”: [45, 104],

  “04”: [105, 174],

  “05”: [175, 235]

  };

  // Get the selected menu option

  selectedOption = menuEffect.value;

  // Initialize the output time remap value

  outputTimeRemap = 0;

  // Check the selected menu option and set the output time remap value

  if (selectedOption in ranges) {

  selectedRange = ranges[selectedOption];

  outputTimeRemap = linear(time, selectedRange[0], selectedRange[1], 0, thisComp.duration);

  }

  outputTimeRemap;

  Keyframing a drop menu? You mean like making a frame by frame animation of the drop menu going from down to up to show the option? is that what you are trying to animate? Let me know cause I am trying to see if I understand what you are looking for.
