Rotation Expression keyframes need to be removed
So I tried searching the entire net for an answer and could not find it.
What I’m trying to do is come up with a script. Let me explain that
Imagine a clock with the 12 hours marker only.
I have a master layer (a line) that I animated the rotation (full 360)
Then I want to have an expression that will automatically as I duplicate layers to divide the angles and stop them equally but still rotate the initial degreesI’m sure I’m not making sense, let me try that again.
Assume there is layer 1 that rotates 360deg of a clock.
Then suppose I have 3 other layers that I want them to rotate together with the first layer but they will stop their rotation in such a way that the angle between them is equal. I’m putting the code here.As of now, it works only if all the layers are animated. I want to be able to remove the keyframes from the other layers. Is that possible?
I’m just starting expressions so this might be very rudimentary.
test=(360/thisComp.numLayers)
if (rotation < test*(index-1)){
value
}else{
test*(index-1)
}

I think you were close:
test=(360/thisComp.numLayers);
if (rotation < test*(index)){
value
}else{
test*(index-1)

Hi Dan, thanks for the reply but the code you gave me does not work properly,
I have 3 layers now,
one is the master which I animated rotation 1 full revolution.
Then I duplicated the layer and added the expression I did so that no matter how much I duplicated it would always divide the angles between them equally and still rotate until that degree.But all the slave layer still have the keyframe animation to it, which I wanted to know if it was possible to remove?

It’s a picture of what I’m trying to do. -
If layer 1 is your master, then the others shouldn’t need the keyrames with this:
test=(360/thisComp.numLayers);
r = thisComp.layer(1).rotation;
if (r < test*(index-1)){
r
}else{
test*(index-1)

Awesome it worked 😀
I guess that’s why you are so famous Dan,
Thanks a lot
