  • Extraperlate constant movement before and after keyframes

    Posted by Mike Futcher on October 25, 2018 at 10:11 am

    Hello After Effects people.

    I’m new to after effects, though I’m an experienced 3D animator with Blender.

    I’m creating a video that will contain a lot of images scrolling past at a constant rate. From what I understand I can create a null and parent everything to it, but… is there a way I can set two keyframes – say at position 1 at frame 100 and position 2 at frame 200 and have the null move at the same constant rate both before frame 100 and after frame 200?

    Thanks in advance,
    Mike

    You can use an expression. Alt+click on the stopwatch icon for the position property, then paste in this code:

    if (numKeys > 1) {
    if (time < key(1).time) loopIn("continue")
    else loopOut("continue");
    } else value;

    Wow – I didn’t think I’d be entering code so early, but you’ve explained very clearly how to do it – thanks!
