    Time offset my expression

    Posted by Jaus Dahead on September 23, 2015 at 2:29 pm

    Hi im a total noob in coding and i cant figure it out.

    I have an effect (the intensity of a lens flare) bound to a trapcode soundkey output value. It works fine and increases the light as i wanted.

    But its a little bit behind the beat. So i want either the effect or the expression to offset in time -.2

    Can anyone help me out?
    Thanks a lot in advance

    100+(thisComp.layer("Soundkey").effect("Sound Keys")("Output 3")/7);

    “valueAtTime()” is what you’re looking for

    delay = .2;

    100+(thisComp.layer("Soundkey").effect("Sound Keys")("Output 3").valueAtTime(time-delay)/7)
