How can I put a composition to follow a time remap.
Hellow this is the first time that I can not find a solution around here or google, so here it goes.
Im animating a 2D character whit a “time remap head turn” so its 3/4 left, Center an 3/4 Right.
And I want to make a diferent pre comp that has the eyes blinking in loop to follow “the head turn”I know that I can manually chop the pre comp, and adjust position, but I want to save some time on it, any help will be apreciated

You can have another set of eyes animated in the same head turn comp, switched off.
Then you can add an expression to the blinking eyes position using the valueAtTime method to link them to where it should be.
something like:
a=thisComp.layer("Head Turn");
a.layer("eyes guide").transform.position.valueAtTime(a.timeRemap) -
Umm, this didnt work,
the “eyes guide” should be on the original comp, or the Head turn pre comp?
-
It should go inside the head comp. I’m assuming that in your main comp you have two layers. Your blinking eyes precomp(or layer). And your head turn pre comp.
EDIT: try
comp("Head Turn").layer("eyes guide").transform.position.valueAtTime(thisComp.layer("Head Turn").timeRemap) -
Maybe, there is a way to link position of the eyes, to a especific frame(set by time remap) on the head turn comp?

that’s what that expression does. I just tested it here. The first one I posted had some syntax error. The second one, assuming you have the same names, works. What version are you on? Myabe I can upload an example.

upload an example will be awesome, am a noob in this thing of expressions.
