Time change between two points

[Kevin Camp]

see if this works for you:
xA = 100; // x value for point A
tA = 0; // time value for point A in hours

xB = 1000; // x value for point B
tB = 1.25; // time value for point B in hours

v = linear(position[0],xA,xB,tA,tB)*60*60/thisComp.frameDuration;

t = timeToTimecode(framesToTime(v)).split(':');
hr = t[0].split('').[1];
min = t[1];
sec = t[2];

hr+'hr'+' '+min+'min'+' '+sec+'secs'
set the xA and xB values as needed for the x values of points A and B. You didn’t mention a time values for point A, i assumed zero, but you can change if needed.

since the expression uses the timeToTimcode() function, it is limited to 3 hours max, but this method makes it a little easier to get leading zeros for minutes and seconds, which I think you want. if the 3hr limit doesn’t work, there are other ways to get that formatting that aren’t limited to 3hrs.

Thanks a lot Kevin

I applied your code, but it returns a syntax error in line 10.

Am i doing something wrong. I have AE cc

Yes, the time does start at zero.

Thanks a lot.

Sorry Chris, there was an inadvertent period in the tenth line, change it to this:

hr = t[0].split(”)[1];
