Freezing Time Remap value when < X position
Hi there,
My composition has 8 subcompositions (duplicated several times to form a line of them) which are moving constantly left. These comps each contain a single solid which is scaling vertically in both directions according to audio keyframes. I want to be able to have the time-remap on these comps freeze when they reach a certain X position, effectively locking their height as they continue to move past this point (indicated by the white line). I need an expression which will freeze the timeRemap property once the layer position is less than the X value of the white line, which I can apply to each comp layer.
Any help is appreciated.

It will probably look like this:
W = thisComp.layer("White Line");
v = value;
for (f = 0; f <= timeToFrames(); f++){
t = framesToTime(f)
if (transform.position.valueAtTime(t)[0] <= W.transform.position[0]){
v = valueAtTime(t);
break;
}
}
v

That’s amazing, Dan, works right off the bat: also gives me a new platform to learn from by dissecting this example code. Many, many thanks.
