How to reference in time to a specific value
Hello,
i have question, which, it hink, is pretty simple. I want to reference in layer B by expression to a simple animation like a scaling in layer A with inPoint at 00:00:00:00. But, layer B has its inPoint at 00:00:00:10 and should start taht animation there which starts in layer A at 00:00:00:00.
How to do that?
Thanks in advance, i always needed this in my life and i helped me out with precomping 🙂 this should have been overdone now by a script if possible 🙂
Cheers

I think what you need is valueAtTime(). To link the scale of layer A you can use
thisComp.layer("A").scale.valueAtTime(time-inPoint);To be a little modular, so it works even if the inPoint of A is not 0, you could write it like this
layerA = thisComp.layer("A");
inA = layerA.inPoint;
diff = inPoint-inA;
layerA.scale.valueAtTime(time-diff); -
