expression to show comments and duration between markers :)
source text expression:
small expression to display duration between markers in layer.
(modified from Dan’s marker expression)
————————
need help:
now the expressions gets the time from nearest markerKey, need to make the expression hold until the next marker, so that the value wont change half-way between 2 markers
Thanks 😀
p=thisLayer; //layer where the markers isif (p.marker.numKeys > 0) try{
n = p.marker.nearestKey(time).index;
m = p.marker.key(n).time; m2=p.marker.key(n+1).time;
c=p.marker.key(n).comment;
v=m2-m;
}
catch(err){ c=p.marker.key(n).comment; m=0; m2=p.marker.key(n).time; m3=thisComp.duration; v=m3-m2;}c+"r"+timeToTimecode(v)

I think you’re after something like this:
m = thisLayer.marker; //layer where the markers is
n = 0;
if (m.numKeys > 0){
n = m.nearestKey(time).index;
if (m.key(n).time > time) n--;
if (n == m.numKeys){ // after last marker
t = thisComp.duration - m.key(n).time;
c = m.key(n).comment;
}else if (n == 0){ // before first marker
t = m.key(1).time;
c = "";
}else{ //between two markers
t = m.key(n+1).time - m.key(n).time;
c = m.key(n).comment;
}
}else{ // no markers
t = thisComp.duration;
c = "";
}c + "r" + timeToTimecode(t)
(note that the “r” in the last line should be “(backslash)r”
