loopOut expression renders my linear expression disabled?
Hi there, I’ll try to explain my issue..
I have 2 text layers, I have successfully made the width of text layer 2 the same as text layer 1 by converting the width of text layer 2 into a percentage of text layer 1. this code is working on the scale transform of text layer 2. The animation has two keyframes on scale. All good so far until I try to add a loopOut(“pingpong”) expression as well to loop my two keyframes. It seems to disable the code above it.I hope this makes sense. Any advise is greatly appreciated ?
thanks
Jacx2 = text.animator("Animator 1_scaleToWord1 percentage").property.scale[0];
x = linear(time,key(1).time,key(2).time,key(1).value[0],x2);
[x,value[1]];loopOut("pingpong");
//when the last line - loopOut("pingpong"); is added the code above it is disabled. -

the loopOut function is only looking at the keyframe data, so its ignoring all the expression beforehand. You could try building a custom loop expression, Dan has some good ones in this forum. Or you could precompose the text layers, add a time remap to the precomp and add loopOut() to the time remap.

thank you so much, I went with the precomp and time remap option you outlined, seems to be working ? much appreciated ?
