Double trim path. Acces to end second trim path for text position.

[Dan Ebberts]

First you need to convert the ellipse to bezier (right click on Ellipse Path 1 > Convert to Bezier Path). Then this expression for the the text layer’s position should work:

L = thisComp.layer("Shape Layer 1");
ellipse = L.content("Ellipse 1");
p = ellipse.content("Path 1").path;
end1 = ellipse.content("Trim Paths 1").end;
end2 = ellipse.content("Trim Paths 2").end;
offset1 = L.transform.anchorPoint;
offset2 = [-20,20];
L.toComp(p.pointOnPath((end1/100)*(end2/100))+ offset1 + offset2)

Adjust offset2 to move the text slightly off the path (or set it to [0,0] if you want the text right on the trim path end point)

Thank you again. And if, for example, I have trim path 1 start = 15%, and trim path 2 start = 30%, do I need to multiply them in this way too?

L.to Comp(p.pointOnPath((end1/100)*(end2/100)*(start1/100)*(start2/100))+ offset 1 + offset 2)

[Dan Ebberts]

Ah, yes. I didn’t consider that. I’d try it like this:

L = thisComp.layer("Shape Layer 1");
ellipse = L.content("Ellipse 1");
p = ellipse.content("Path 1").path;
start1 = ellipse.content("Trim Paths 1").start;
end1 = ellipse.content("Trim Paths 1").end;
end2 = ellipse.content("Trim Paths 2").end;
offset1 = L.transform.anchorPoint;
offset2 = [-20,20];
L.toComp(p.pointOnPath(start1/100 + ((end1-start1)/100)*(end2/100))+ offset1 + offset2)

Thank you for help,sir!

To control the second trim path expand both trim paths in the layer and keyframe the End value of the second one separately. Rename layers to avoid confusion.
