Delay position animator per row
Hi guys. My brain feels numb, as I feel like I am so close to this, yet so far.
I have a text animator that movest the text in from [-100,0] to [0,0] with a certain ease. I want this position to be delayed by 2 frames for each row. I don’t know how many rows the text will have, but it must behave the same for any number of rows. I feel like I have to add a certain selector expression, but don’t know exactly how that should look. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Andrei.

Hi Andrei, Did you do the position with 2 keyframes, or with a range that effects 1 set property ?

If you used keyframes, then the expression selector can’t help you, as soon as the value of the position property hits [0,0], all the expression selector can influence is by what amount that [0, 0] should be applied, and no matter if that’s 100% or -100%… it’ll remain at 0,0…
Workaround:
Copy the position-keyframes with the easing you like to a point control (or a Null object’s position could work too)
Set the position-animator to position 10.000, 10.000 and set the expression-selector – based on lines – to this expression:
t = time - framesToTime(2)*(textIndex-1);
effect("Point Control")("Point").valueAtTime(t)/100; -
This was exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks Filip
