How to move timeline layers with marker?

[Fabrice Leconte]

An easy way is to add an expression on the opacity property to turn off the opacity before the marker.

time < thisComp.marker.key(1).time ? 0 :100;

Or you can select all your layers and run this script to really move layers to the marker position

proj = app.project;

thisComp = proj.activeItem;

thisComp.selectedLayers.map(function(layer){

layer.startTime = thisComp.markerProperty.keyTime(1);

})

Thank you so much for reply 🙂 very helpful

you are just near which I want to trigger same thing when i move marker, is it possible ?

[Fabrice Leconte]

With the opacity expression, you can move the marker and then it will automatically affect all your layers who have the expression on it.

But using the script you’ll need to run the script each time you want to move selected layers to the marker position.

What do you mean all layers in your composition or just layers with a specific label color?

[Andrei Popa]

If you have all the layers selected, maybe go to the marker time with the timeline cursor and press “[“.

[Palak Bhatt]

sorry, only specific color layers

[Palak Bhatt]

Try this script it will move your Aqua layers every times that you’ll press “move layers” button
