Markers to trigger per-word reveal
I’d like to write an expression to trigger each word in a text layer to appear every time a marker is present on the layer- (progressively revealing more words as more markers are passed on the timeline).
I’ve found this expression which triggers per character:
c = thisLayer;
count = 0;
for (i = 1; i <= c.marker.numKeys; i++){
if (c.marker.key(i).time > time) break;
count++;
}
var result = value.substring(0, count); // trim
resultc = thisLayer; count = 0; for (i = 1; i <= c.marker.numKeys; i++){ if (c.marker.key(i).time > time) break; count++; } var result = value.substring(0, count); // trim result
But I can’t work out how to modify it to work per-word. Any ideas?
Many thanks,
Tom

Hi Tom. You can try this. But this will only check spaces as word differentiators, not newlines.
c = thisLayer;
count = 0;
for (i = 1; i <= c.marker.numKeys; i++) {
if (c.marker.key(i).time > time) break;
count++;
}
var result = value.split(" ").slice(0, count).join(" ");
result; -
Hey Tom, check out this thread. I believe the last expression will do what you’re asking. Cheers!
