Moving Current Time indicator to specific point

[Kalleheikki Kannisto]

You can’t move the time indicator itself, but you can enable time remapping for the layer and use an expression to change the relative time to the same effect.

Depending on what you need to do, the valueAtTime() may work as well.

I Tried to do a test with what you mentioned valueAtTime. I did a null object and put a marker on it. Created three solid layers and did key frames for it. Used the below expression in the opacity property of each layer. Now when I play nothing happens to the solid layers. The just keep the opacity level of 100. I created a key frame of 100 at 0sec (timeline) and 0 and 10sec (timeline). If I move the marker away or even on the keyframe nothing happens. What do you think i’m doing wrong here.

L= thisComp.layer("EDIT");
n = 0;
if (L.marker.numKeys > 0){
n = L.marker.nearestKey(time).index;
if (L.marker.key(n).time > time){
n--;
}
}if (n == 0){
valueAtTime(0);
}else{
t = time - L.marker.key(n).time;
valueAtTime(t)
}

Ignore this please I got it working. Was using a composition marker, didn’t realize we need to use a layer marker. Thanks for your help. This is what I needed
