Dan Ebberts wonderful expressions
Hello I try to combine 2 expressions from Mr Ebberts that found on this forum
but I am to stupid
What I want to achieve is that I can control the in point and the duration of a 4 Keyframe Opacity animationfor the In point I found this nugget
A = effect(“in Point”)(“Schieberegler”);
delta = A ;
valueAtTime(time – A)and for the duration in found this nugget
ip = effect(“Duration”)(“Schieberegler”);
d = key(numKeys).time – key(numKeys-1).time;
if (time > (ip – d)){
t = key(numKeys-1).time + (time – (ip – d));
}else{
t = Math.min(time,key(numKeys-1).time);
}
valueAtTime(t)individually they work great but as I said I am to stupid to make them both work
together
Please excuse my English its not my first language
And I want to thank Mr Ebberts for sharing his knowledge I learnt a lot over the years from his forum posts and his old homepage but obviously not enough -

Something like this should let you control the start of the keyframe sequence with the In Point slider, and the duration with the Duration slider:
ip = effect("In Point")("Schieberegler");
d = effect("Duration")("Schieberegler");
if (time < ip){
key(1).value
}else if (time < ip + d){
t = linear(time-ip,0,d,key(1).time,key(numKeys).time);
valueAtTime(t)
}else{
key(numKeys).value
}Dan

Thank you of course does it work.
there is one small thing the opacity animations was meant to switch the layer on and of so I keyframed frame 0 with value 0, frame 1 with value 100, frame 2 with value 100 and frame 3 with value 0 again.
your expression seems to interpolate this into a dissolve of 25 frames
but that is okay for me. I will try to figure it out myself.
Actually I just found out was it was. I had to separate the in and out animation for about 4 seconds and now it just switches the layer on and off just like
I needed it to be.
Thank you a lot
you really helped me.
have a nice day
