Move marker of a layer depending on its length
Hi,
I would like to move a marker automatically according to the length of the layer it’s on.
For my example, I would like to have the 2nd marker placed 15 frames before the layer end automatically or with just one button (instead of doing in manually), is it possible ? Thank you
For information, my 2 markers are linked to 2 keyframes with this code I found there :
m = thisLayer.marker;
if (m.numKeys > 1 && numKeys > 0){
t = linear(time,m.key(1).time,m.key(2).time,key(1).time,key(numKeys).time);
valueAtTime(t);
}else

You can’t move markers with expressions, but you can modify your expression so it does not need markers anymore. And it will also be faster to render. Somehting like this to replace the part that you posted should work
startDur = 5;
endDur = 15;
startDur = framesToTime(startDur);
endDur = framesToTime(endDur);
if (numKeys > 0) {
t = linear(time, inPoint + startDur, outPoint - endDur, key(1).time, key(numKeys).time);
valueAtTime(t);
} elseYou can modify the frist startDur and endDur to how many frames from beginning and end you want the animation to start.
I dont know how the rest of your expression looks like to also modify that part.
