  • Setting Start Frame of linked expression

    Posted by Bryan Keeling on March 26, 2008 at 2:43 pm

    I’m using the pick whip to express the scale of several layers to the scale on a null layer. The problem is, the layers are all staggered across time. I would like each layer to perform the scale animation from the null at each layers first frame. I guess another way to look at it is that even though the the null and linked/expressed layers don’t line up in the time line, is their an expression that can make them act like they are, buy adding to this script?

    thisComp.layer(“SCALE_Null”).transform.scale

    thanks.

    Try this:

    t = time – inPoint;
    N = thisComp.layer(“SCALE_Null”);
    N.transform.scale.valueAtTime(N.inPoint + t)
