comp marker to trigger an animation of a layer (not TR)
hey wizards.
I need a comp marker to trigger the keyframe animation of a property in one of the layers. if it reaches the comp marker – it will trigger, if not, then it won’t start. not TR property but other parameters. imaging a null that’s pushing a few layers at 10:00 mark. I want to place that null at the beginning of my timeline and instead use a Comp marker at 10:00 that will get the null going. I got a few nulls that do different things. I want this whole thing to get going at the comp marker sign.
I got something to work for 2 keyframes and I set it to each of the nulls parameters and it works as long as it’s only 2 keyframes and they all start at the same time. but this is not the case.
t1 = key(1).time;
t2 = key(2).time;
dur = t2 – t1;markerOut = thisComp.marker.key(“Out”).time;
t = linear(time, markerOut, markerOut+dur,t1,t2);
valueAtTime(t);
problem is I got 3. and I got more than one layer I want to trigger its animation so if those layers are not in sync (animation starts at the same time), this doesn’t work. I wish to break free from the shackles of specifying my keyframes if possible. an expression that tells a layer to start going when the comp marker is reached. in which layer parameter I set it in no matter how many keyframes.
t1 = key(1).time;
t2 = key(2).time;
dur = t2 - t1;markerOut = thisComp.marker.key("Out").time;
t = linear(time, markerOut, markerOut+dur,t1,t2);
valueAtTime(t);

got the solution from paul Slemmer: https://paulslemmer.com/
m = thisComp.marker.key("Out");
mT = m.time;
k = key(1);
kT = k.time;t=time-mT+kT;
valueAtTime(t);Roei Tzoref
