Control time of composition with slider control (in seconds)
Hello,
I have one question about the problem. I’m creating a .mogrt file and I want to add a slider control to control the duration of the animation (composition). Is there an expression to fix that, that I can change the duration of composition (duration in seconds) with just a slider control.
Thanks for the help.

You can’t control duration with an expression, but you could drop your comp into another comp, turn on time remapping, and use a time remapping expression like this:
s = thisComp.layer(“Controls”).effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”);
linear(time,0,s,0,key(2).time)Dan

Thanks, that is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much, you are a lifesaver.
Do you know if this expression works in new version AE cc 2019 with the new feature “Create protected region”?
Thanks again.

I haven’t played with that feature yet. Try it. ☺

In 2021… it does work, but it doesn’t actually honor the protected regions, is there a way to do that?

Never mind, I have re-evaluated my needs to just use protected regions 🙂
