Reverse Adobe expression at the end of the comp
Hello!
I have this text expression to make the text appear smoothly. I would like for the text to go back as it went in. At first I thought I could just duplicate the layer and reverse it. But I’m certain it’s possible to do this with the expression, so here I am posting to ask if anyone knows how to do this ☺ Thank you!delay = .1;
myDelay = delay*textIndex;
t = (time - inPoint) - myDelay;
if (t >= 0){
freq =2;
amplitude = 100;
decay = 8.0;
s = amplitude*Math.cos(freq*t*2*Math.PI)/Math.exp(decay*t);
[s,s]
} else {
value

Play around with this:
delay = .1;
myInDelay = delay*textIndex;
myOutDelay = delay*(textTotal -textIndex + 1);
tStart = inPoint + myInDelay;
tStop = outPoint - myOutDelay;
if ((time < tStart) || (time > tStop)){
t = 0;
}else{
if (time < (tStart + tStop)/2){
t = time - tStart;
}else{
t = tStop - time;
}
}
freq =2;
amplitude = 100;
decay = 8.0;
s = amplitude*Math.cos(freq*t*2*Math.PI)/Math.exp(decay*t);
[s,s]

Thank you Dan, this totally did the trick! Sorry I’m a newbie, could you tell me what the t represents in the expression? I understand the basics of JS

For the in animation, t represents the time elapsed since the start of the animation. For the out animation, t represents the time remaining.

Hi Dan,
I’m trying to figure out how this expression would work on lets say the scale or position of a regular layer, but I can’t seem to find a solution. Do you have any suggestions?
