Get Values from Layers Name
Dear expression heroes,
I’m using expressions regulary but I can’t wrap my brain around this and I already searched the forum without any results:
I have a comp with a length of 1000 frames.
Within this comp is a Shape-Layer named 09:00_0010_0990.
I want to reveal the path by trimming the End-Value from frame 10 (0%) to frame 990 (100%).
How can I target the last two digits in the layer name (0010 and 0990) for this instead setting keyframes?
The hour at the beginning of the layer’s name has a structural importance for the project’s structure but is irrelevant for the animation itself.
Thank you in advance if there is any solution!

Probably something close to this:
splitName = name.split(“_”);
tStart = framesToTime(parseInt(splitName[1],10));
tEnd = framesToTime(parseInt(splitName[2],10));
linear(time,tStart,tEnd,0,100)Dan
