Expression and CC cylinder
Hi,
I’m hoping someone can guide me in the right direction. I have an effect (CC cylinder) that is rotating
at a consistent speed throughout a segment. At certain moments, I’d like to speed up the rotation to match some dialog. I’m accustomed to parenting with a null when i use 3d rotation, but how do i do something
similar with CC cylinder. Using additional keyframes in CC cylinder is not working well.thanks,
tomd

This method adds keyframes to another layer, but will leave your original effect/keyframes alone. I added a null and added the effect > Expressions Control > Angle Control(you don’t really need to add the null, I just think it’s a little cleaner). Then I added this expression to the rotational property of the cylinder:
value + thisComp.layer("Null 1").effect("Angle Control")("Angle")That takes the current value of the rotation and adds the value from the null.
Here’s a simple project to illustrate: 5068_valueexpressionfolder.zip
