Movement affecting scale
Hi everybody,
I try to use the following expression to affect scale when animating the position:
amp = .1;
freq = 2.0;
decay = 2.0;
n = 0;
time_max = 4;
if (numKeys > 0){
n = nearestKey(time).index;
if (key(n).time > time){
n--;
}}
if (n == 0){ t = 0;
}else{
t = time - key(n).time;
}
if (n > 0 && t < time_max){
v = velocityAtTime(key(n).time - thisComp.frameDuration/10);
value + v*amp*Math.sin(freq*t*2*Math.PI)/Math.exp(decay*t);
}else{value}
I apply this expression on an expression control position (named Bounce), and I paste on it the same animation keyframes than the position parameter.
Then I use the following expression on the scale parameter:
bounce=transform.position-effect("Bounce")("Point");
value+bounce*100
It works but I am sure that there is a simpler and better way to make the position animation affecting the size, without having to duplicate keyframes.
Any ideas ? -

Hi Romain
You can directly put the following code to the scale-property.
It uses the keys from the position-property and you don’t need an expression control property.
amp = .1;
freq = 2.0;
decay = 2.0;
n = 0;
time_max = 4;keysTotal = transform.position.numKeys;
propertyPosition = transform.position;if (keysTotal > 0){
n = propertyPosition.nearestKey(time).index;
if (propertyPosition.key(n).time > time){
n--;
}}
if (n == 0){
t = 0;
}else{
t = time - propertyPosition.key(n).time;
}
if (n > 0 && t < time_max){
v = velocityAtTime(propertyPosition.key(n).time - thisComp.frameDuration/10);
bounce = propertyPosition.value + v*amp*Math.sin(freq*t*2*Math.PI)/Math.exp(decay*t);
}else{
bounce = propertyPosition.value
}value+bounce*100

Thank you Andreas,
I applied your expression on scale (using “(n > 0 && t < time_max)” instead of “(n > 0 && t < time_max)”), And the result is not what I am expecting : the scale is modified according to the velocity or speed position. But there’s no bouncing effect after.
I had already tried to do the same thing, using “transform.position” instead of “propertyPosition.value” (is there a difference?) but didn’t work either.
That’s why I used the second method.
