stopping the loop out expression

[Kevin Camp]

if you wanted it to slow down to a stop, then precomping the animation and using time remapping (layer>time>enable time remapping) may be the way to go.

then you’d just be adding/adjusting key frames and their interploation… it may be as easy as ‘easy ease’ on the end keyframe, or adjust the curve in the graph editor to suit.

I often use this expression:

t=time; // or t=effect("Slider Control")("Slider");

if (numKeys) {
last=key(numKeys).time
tt = (t>=0) ? t%last : last-(-t%last);
valueAtTime(tt);
} else {
value
}


If you change the first line by pickwhipping “t=” to a slider (see the comment part of line 1)
, you can keyframe that slider as if it was the time of a timeremapped precomp for that parameter + as a bonus it goes below zero which loopOut & timeremapping can’t do.

Thanks Guys,

Filips expression works nicely for slowing down the keyframe animation (which is a huge help already), but i cant seem too keep the loop_out expression working.
The Puppet starts jittering and doing weird stuff. I pasted the expression under my loop_out expression. Maybe i was thinking too simple =)

Thanks for the help guys!
