Activity Forums Adobe After Effects Expressions Start Expression after certain frame

  • Start Expression after certain frame

    Posted by Daniel Elder on December 15, 2006 at 7:26 pm

    Hi,

    This should be an easy question, I was wondering how I would tell an effect expression to start after a certain keyframe. Right now it is affecting the opacity, at random(1,9), I just
    want that to start at frame 60 and end at frame 240

    Thanks

    Simply split the layer and only apply the expression to the snippet you want.

    Thanks, the other way I did it was to coverth expression to keyframes. But I could have thought of that one too.

    Thanks Mylenium

    If you want lots of on’s and off’s, splitting layers can add up to congestion, so you might want to look at Dan’s checkbox expression to control other expressions:

    My express concern is that I’ve expressed myself correctly.

    hi

    let’s assume that keyframe 1 is at frame 60 and the second on is at frame 240.
    Now add this expression

    if (time >= key(1).time&& time<=key(2).time) { random(1,9) } else{ value }
