Marker to text for rankings
Hi everyone,
Please, I need some help. I am trying to use markers to do rankings from the low to highest ranks like countdown from last to first. I tried this expression below but couldn’t give the one with the lowest rank and also give me an error at the highest rank which is supposed to be number 1.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Obed
f = 20; // number of transition frames
dur = (f*thisComp.frameDuration);
if (marker.numKeys > 0){
n = marker.numKeys - marker.nearestKey(time).index;
if (marker.key(n).time < time){
n++;
if (n > marker.numKeys) n = 0;
}
if (n == 0){
y = marker.numKeys;
}else{
t = marker.key(n).time;
y = ease(time,t - dur,t,n-1,n);
}
}else{
y
}

The expression has some problems. But neglecting that for the time being, what is it you’re trying to do exactly?

Hello,
I am trying to count from 50 to 1 with markers on the text layer using an expression on the source Text, I want the numbers to count only exactly on the marker point, then maintain it and change again on the next marker till it I reached 1. I have modified the expression I used earlier to work, however, it does not change exactly on the marker point, it changes in the middle point between the markers.
Thanks
Obedn=(marker.numKeys-(marker.nearestKey(time).index));
if (marker.numKeys=marker.nearestKey(time).index);
{
Math.floor(n+1)
}else{
n

Try this:
m = marker;
val = 0;
if (m.numKeys > 0){
n = m.nearestKey(time).index;
if (time < m.key(n).time) n--;
val = m.numKeys - n;
}
val

Well, you could do this:
m = marker;
val = 0;
if (m.numKeys > 0){
n = m.nearestKey(time).index;
if (time < m.key(n).time) n--;
val = m.numKeys +1 - n;
}
val
but it means you need one marker less than the starting count.
