locking keyframes to markers ?

[Raja kamaruzzaman Rc]

Hi you still there? How do you tweak it exactly? I tried dan’s script but the marker only represent the second keyframe.. whenever I move the marker the animation speed change. I want the marker as a trigger, when the time needle go past the marker then the animation starts.

Something like this maybe:


L = thisComp.layer("Layer With Marker");
if ((L.marker.numKeys > 0) && (numKeys > 0)){
t1 = key(1).time;
t = Math.max(time - L.marker.key(1).time,0);
valueAtTime(t1 + t);
}else
value

Hi dan.. The script you’re giving is working fine.. but what if I have more than two keyframes? meaning I want the first 2 keyframes play as usual, but only the third and fourth keyframes will be triggered by that marker.

I did this :

L = thisComp.layer(“Layer With Marker”);
if ((L.marker.numKeys > 0) && (numKeys > 0)){
t1 = key(3).time;
t = Math.max(time – L.marker.key(1).time,0);
valueAtTime(t1 + t);
}else
value

Key 1 and 2 does not play at all.

Thanks!
