A script to move a layer 10 pixels every 10 frames?
Hi all,
I’ve got a wide screen image (5446 pixels) in a 720 comp. I’m wondering if there’s is a way to use a script to move the image 10 pixels to the left every 10 frames. I had been doing this by hand and then replacing the keyframes with “hold keyframes”, but I figure there must be a better way. I don’t want fluid movement, just something really jerky.If I could make it loop, that would be awesome, but first things first!
Any ideas?

why a script? can’t you just add an expression?
create two keyframes 10f and 10px apart, hold them(by ctrl+alt clinking) then alt click the stopwatch (to add an expression) and write:
loopOut("offset") -
And after seeing the perfect response from Cassius, here’s a much more complicated way of doing it. Expression to the position property:
x = transform.position[0];
y = transform.position[1];
myTime = timeToFrames(t = time + thisComp.displayStartTime, fps = 1.0 / thisComp.frameDuration, isDuration = false);
myCondition = myTime % 10;
timeDown = myTime - myConditionif (myCondition == 0) ([x,y]) - [myTime,0] else [x-timeDown,y]
