Control Animation with markers e.g. IN and OUT and then IN again
Hi there! I hope you are well 😃
I’m trying to achieve the following:
Use the markers’ comments of a layer to drive the animation and be able to use another marker with the same comment again. For example:The camera Zoom begins at a value of 2,000 with the marker “IN” and then interpolates to a value of 5,000 when it reaches the marker “OUT”, AND if I add another “IN” marker after that, it should go back to 2,000
This is what I did but it only animates between the first two markers (which makes sense):
markerIN = thisLayer.marker.key(“IN”);
mIN = markerIN.time;
markerOUT = thisLayer.marker.key(“OUT”);
<i style=”background-color: var(–bb-content-background-color); font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; color: var(–bb-body-text-color);”>mOUT= markerOUT.time;
<i style=”background-color: var(–bb-content-background-color); font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; color: var(–bb-body-text-color);”>ease(time, mIN, mOUT, 2000, 5000);Thank you!

It will look something like this (although this may not be exactly right depending on what should happen if there are no markers, or other markers besides IN and OUT):
m = marker;
v1 = 2000;
v2 = 5000;
val = v1;
if (m.numKeys > 0){
n = m.nearestKey(time).index;
if (time < m.key(n).time) n--;
if (n > 0){
if (m.key(n).comment == "IN"){
val = v1;
if (n < m.numKeys && m.key(n+1).comment == "OUT"){
val = ease(time,m.key(n).time,m.key(n+1).time,v1,v2);
}
}else if (m.key(n).comment == "OUT"){
val = v2;
if ( n < m.numKeys && m.key(n+1).comment == "IN"){
val = ease(time,m.key(n).time,m.key(n+1).time,v2,v1);
}
}
}
}

That worked perfectly, Dan, thank you so much 🙏 It was much more complex than I thought it’d be.

Thank you for the solve, Dan!
