Can a comp marker trigger the beginning of a layers animation?
Hey people
Is it possible, to have a comp marker (3), to initiate the beginning of a layers animation.
The layer, “Logo Out” is currently at the first frame, but i would like to lock that layer, and have it time remapped so that the first frame is triggered at the point where marke 3 is.
Thanks for helping and you input.

Hey Chris,
Turn on time remapping for your “Logo Out” layer and add this expression:
value – thisComp.marker.key(“3”).time

Thank you so much Lloyd.
Works like a charm.

Would you mind please, telling me what expression is needed to make the opacity 0 (hold keyframe) at the same mark.
I would like to have another layer reference the same marker and turn itself off, just as the other starts.
Thanks alot

Cool, i missed your response earlier.. but for the sake of having the info here in case someone else finds it helpful, you would put this expression on the opacity of the layer you want to switch to 0 at the marker:
if (time < thisComp.marker.key("3").time) { value } else { 0 } -Lloyd https://aescripts.com

Nice. It it possible to do the same thing with a layer marker on a null object?
