Loop out at marker
Trying to work out an expression that will loopOut() Time Remap keyframes starting at a marker.
startMarkerTime = thisLayer.marker.key(1).time;
I can get the animation to start at the marker, but not loop:
if (time <= startMarkerTime) {
0
} else {
time - startMarkerTime
}Or I can get the loop to start at the marker, but not from the first frame:
if (time <= startMarkerTime) {
0
} else {
loopOut()
}How can I get the animation to start at the marker AND loopOut starting from the first frame?

Probably close to this:
startMarkerTime = marker.key(1).time;
if (time <= startMarkerTime) {
0;
} else {
(time - startMarkerTime)%(key(numKeys).time - key(1).time);
}

Yes, this works great! Any way of getting this to boomerang ( i.e. loopOut(“boomerang”) ) without it using the loopOut function?

Do you mean “pingpong”? That would be like this I guess:
startMarkerTime = marker.key(1).time;
if (time <= startMarkerTime) {
0;
} else {
t = time - startMarkerTime;
t1 = key(1).time;
t2 = key(2).time;
d = t2 - t1;
n = Math.floor(t/d);
n % 2 ? t2 - t%d : t1 + t%d;
}

Ah yes, I meant pingpong. Perfect! Thank you, Dan.
FYI, I had to change key(1).time to key(1).value
