Shift an audio track in the timeline

[Oleh Fedchenko]

Hi everyone,

I rarely work with expresses. To work with animatics, I wrote a small script for the task to shift the audio track on the timeline inside the composition / scene. This allows the audio track to be accurately synchronized with the audio within the main animatic composition.

 

a = thisComp.name;

b = comp(“animatic”).layer(“a”).startTime;

thisLayer.timeRemap.valueAtTime(time + b)

Why is this script not working?

If I write just the name of the scene in the script, then everything works fine.

b = comp(“animatic”).layer(“scene_002”).startTime;

thisLayer.timeRemap.valueAtTime(time + b)

Thanks!

I think you just need to get rid of the quotes around the variable name in the second line:

b = comp("animatic").layer(a).startTime;

Super!

Now everything works.

Thank you very much!
