  • Mogrts and animation keyframe adjusting

    Posted by Jon Miguel on August 24, 2020 at 10:34 pm

    Hi there,

    I hope this is the right place to ask this, but I want to adjust the animation timing of keyframes I’ve created.

    Purpose: to make a mogrt that allows user to readjust timing of scaling text animation

    Setup: text layer has animation that scales up certain words for 3 keyframes from 100%-125%-100% with easy ease beginning at the 2 second mark

    Question: how do I setup the mogrt so that I can adjust when the keyframes begin their sequence via slider control for more user control (if they want the animation to happen sooner or later as an example)

    You can add a slider to the Essential graphics that controls the keyframed properties with expression like valueAtTime(time + offsetSlider). Individual timings of keyframes would take some more work with increasingly more complex expressions

    thanks for the hint, filip!

    I was able to get it to work using this expression on the action and now I can control the mogrt from premiere to go off anytime on the timeline

    d=thisComp.layer(“Null 2”).effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”);
    text.animator(“Animator 1”).property.scale.valueAtTime(time-d);

    hopefully this expression helps anyone else that might need it
