Pause keyframe animation at marker
This seems like something that would have been answered already, but I couldn’t find it. I have some tracking keyframes on some footage (for stabilization) and I want to pause that animation at a layer marker. Basically the expression should say something like this:
if the current time <= marker time, just use the keyframe animation;
else just display the value at the markerI tried my hand at writing this and couldn’t get it working.

The simplest version would probably be something like this:
m = marker;
if (m.numKeys > 0){
if (time < m.key(1).time)
value
else
valueAtTime(m.key(1).time);
}else
value

Thanks, Dan! This works like a charm! I don’t need any more functionality for what I’m doing right now, but I can see for the future and for others, it might be helpful to have the option to re-enable the keyframed animation with another marker. Maybe even an unlimited version where all odd-numbered markers “pause” the animation and all even ones “play” it (from where you left off, or jumping to the current time keyframe)? Is this possible?

Definitely possible. It does get more complicated though…
