Triggering animation with layer marks
Hi, I´m using this expression to trigger the last keyframe of three simple keyframes. How to modify the expression to trigger the entire animation using two layer marks?. I mean, the first mark will trigger the keyframe 1 and the second mark will control when the animation finishes. Thank you!
L = thisComp.layer("Control");
if ((L.marker.numKeys > 0) && (numKeys > 2) && (time > key(2).time)){
t2 = key(2).time;
t3 = key(3).time;
tm = L.marker.key(1).time;
t = linear(time,t2,tm,t2,t3);
valueAtTime(t);
}else
value -

Is the time from keyframe 1 to keyframe 2 fixed, or does the whole animation stretch/compress?

Hi Dan
What I need is the whole animation. The current expression is stretching the time between keyframe 2 and 3. -
I think this is what you’re asking for, but I’m not sure:
L = thisComp.layer("Control");
if ((L.marker.numKeys > 0) && (numKeys > 2) && (time > key(1).time)){
t1 = key(1).time;
t2 = key(3).time;
tm = L.marker.key(1).time;
t = linear(time,t1,tm,t1,t2);
valueAtTime(t);
}else
value

That wasn’t right. Maybe this is closer:
L = thisComp.layer("Control");
if ((L.marker.numKeys > 1) && (numKeys > 1)){
t1 = key(1).time;
t2 = key(numKeys).time;
tm1 = L.marker.key(1).time;
tm2 = L.marker.key(2).time;
t = linear(time,tm1,tm2,t1,t2);
valueAtTime(t);
}else
value

Thank you, Dan! I will give it a try. Sure is fine 🙂

Hi Dan
The expression works perfectly! Thank you. 🙂
