Change value on particular keyframe with expression
Hi!
I’m doing a project where I need to have a few different settings set by a bunch of expression controls on a null.
The thing is that a different people are supposed to be able to open up the project, change the parameters and then just hit render.Everything is working out fine, except one thing. I have one element that is kind of like a speedometer. I want anyone to be able to set a max number for how far the meter goes, but it should always start at zero.
The way i imagine i would do this is to set two keyframes, one at zero and one that I want to be controlled by the slider.
The animation then uses a wiggle (set by a different slider that they don’t see), that adds a bit of wiggle between the two keyframes.
So, is there a way to set just one of the keyframes to be linked to a slider?
Or could I perhaps make a value that starts at 0 at a given time, and then animates to the a adjustable value during a set time?
Thanks,

you can use the timing of the keys and interpolate new values using ease() or linear() functions, so something like this may work for you.
max = thisComp.layer("Null 1").effect("Slider Control")("Slider");
min = 0;
w = wiggle(5,5);
t1 = key(1).time;
t2 = key(2).time
if (time<=t1) min;
else if (time>t1 && time<t2) ease(time,t1,t2,min,max) + w;
else max;
obviously change the ‘Null 1’ layer to your control null name and you can change the w value to your wiggle values and link it to your slider.
since the expression adds wiggle(), you’ll want to set the actual values for both key frames to 0.
