  A “source” animation, started at a different time with a different duration

  Posted by Bert Brown on April 10, 2014 at 8:29 pm

  I have a source animation, a pink solid with an X position animation going from 0-2 seconds. I want to be able to take the timing (whether it’s easing in or out, extreme or subtle) and use it as a source for various other animations throughout the comp.

  I know how to apply it to another animation and have it start at a later time (see posted expressions for a Range Selector) but I don’t know how to change the duration while still maintaining the same tim ratio of easeIn etc. So in this case, having the Range Selector take 3 seconds instead of 2.

  It seems to be a combination of the value of the starting and stopping points AND the timing at each frame.

  P = thisComp.layer("Pink Solid").transform.xPosition;
ANIM = P.valueAtTime(time-inPoint);
linear(ANIM, 0, 1000, 0, 100)
