Expression loop

[Mike Clasby]

The four loop expressions:

loop_out(“cycle”,0)

loop_out(“pingpong”,0)

loop_out(“offset”,0)

loop_out(“continue”)

will loop most keyframed properties and are demonstrated in Dan Ebberts project file “loop_project.aep”, in the comp named “intro”, here:

https://www.creativecow.net/show.php?page=/articles/ebberts_dan/layer_looping/index.html

Download the project file.

loop_out(“cycle”,0)

is the most common loop expression, Alt click the stopwatch that’s animated, then paste in the expression.

Thank you very much, you help me more then you now…

maybe you help me with another problem…
is there a way to tell to some layer to go to other layer when i choose
(somthing like “gotoandplay” in Flash if you know..)
thanks again any way..

[Mike Clasby]

What do you mean by “go to other layer when i choose”?

“gotoandplay” in flash, does that mean go to frame “n” and play a certain animation?

Dan has a nice method to have markers trigger animations, but it takes AE8, here:

Is that what you want?

Or maybe this is what you want, Aharon uses Time Remapping to LipSync Characters:

Or…

Dan uses Markers to trigger expression to animate other layers via time remapping to sync sound to movement here:

Thank you, it’s not exactly what i need, but the movie with the “Time remapping” was very helpful, if you have more short commands that doing some action like the four looping action that you give me i’ll very thankful, actually thank you any way…

I especially like this, a 3D projector with aep:
