Auto position animation at the end of the composition

[Avinash Ramanath]

Hi,
I have many placeholders inside render comp. placeholders duration will be different for each placeholder. I want an expression that will automatically move the position of placeholders from [960,540] to [960,-540] in the last 20 frames of the placeholder comp.

Thanks

Hi again,

I think you could put this in the placeholders’ positions :

m = timeToFrames(thisLayer.source.duration) + timeToFrames(thisLayer.inPoint) – 20;
n = framesToTime(m);
p = framesToTime(20);
y = ease(time ,n, n+p, [960, 540], [960, -540]);

if(time>n){
y
}else{
[960,540];
}

Cheers !

Thanks Steve, that worked

Steve, need one more alteration. What should the expression be if it needs to have different in and out animations
example:

in – from [960,-540] to [960,540]
out – from [960,540] to [960,-960]

Thanks

Hi,

I think this is what you need :

a = thisLayer.inPoint;
b = timeToFrames(a);
m = timeToFrames(thisLayer.source.duration) + b – 20;
n = framesToTime(m);
p = framesToTime(20);
x = ease(time ,a, a+p, [960, -540], [960, 540]);
y = ease(time ,n, n+p, [960, 540], [960, -960]);

if(time = b){
x
}else{
if(time>n){
y
}else{
[960,540];
}
}

Cheers 😉

Only out animation is happening, but in animation is not happening.

Oups…

It’s supposed to be :

a = thisLayer.inPoint;
b = timeToFrames(a);
m = timeToFrames(thisLayer.source.duration) + b – 20;
n = framesToTime(m);
p = framesToTime(20);
x = ease(time ,a, a+p, [960, -540], [960, 540]);
y = ease(time ,n, n+p, [960, 540], [960, -960]);

if(time = a){
x
}else{
if(time>n){
y
}else{
[960,540];
}
}

I put b in the if condition instead of a… interchanged those varibles at the last minute 😉

Sorry, Steve, it’s still nor happening.

[Steve Sierra]

You’re right…
I don’t know why. I’m only getting the In animation.

I’ll lokk into it when I have some time, unless someone else helps you out.

Good luck !

Appreciate it thanks.
