  Animation is slow – Need advise with the expression.

  Posted by Mackie John on November 24, 2020 at 4:43 pm

  I need to play a keyframe for a timeRemap of a layer based on the marker from Layer ‘A’. So when the marker is hit by the CTI it should start playing the keyframes for the timeRemap on the 2nd layer.

  I have achieved this using following expression, but facing problems:

  action2 = comp(“MAIN COMP”).layer(“A”);

  m2 = action2.marker.key(1).time

  if (time > m2 )

  {

  ti= linear(time,m2,outPoint,key(2).value,key(3).value);

  }

  Marker is sitting at 29s

  key(2).value is 38s

  key(3).value is 40s

  Composition = 40 s

  If you see from the above timings the expression above works but makes the animation slow. Second if the marker position is changed (Which is expected) to 25secs for example it will make the animation more slower.

  Can this expression be fine tuned to give a smooth animation.
