    I’m trying to find a simple way to animate subtitles of varying lengths based on in and out point of layer.
    Or markers If it is possible to do as one layer.

    Using two different text animators( in and out), I would like the subtitles to rotate in and out.

    The goal is to adjust the length of time the title is on the screen to, match the vo and not have to move keys around for each line.

    Are there any presets or scripts out there?

    How would I get the opposite of this expression?

    valueAtTime(key(1).time+time-inPoint)

    So key(1) starts “x” amount of frames before outPoint

    Found this:

    {L = thisLayer;
    valueAtTime(key(numKeys).time-(L.outPoint-time));
    }catch(err){
    value}
