Triggering specific keyframes animations with marker comment

[Dan Ebberts]

Ah, maybe like this then:

tm = marker.key(1).time;
t1 = key(1).time;
t2 = key(2).time;
t = time*(t2-t1)/(tm-t1);
valueAtTime(t)

Ok this is embarrassing, but I need help to refine the latest expression.

The expression works only if the layer itself starts at 00:00 seconds. Anything else, the keyframe animation begins earlier in time that the layer itself, as in the following example:

I tried modifying the expression for the past few hours but simply couldn’t get my head around it 🙁

Try it this way:

tm = marker.key(1).time;
t1 = key(1).time;
t2 = key(2).time;
t = t1 + (time-t1)*(t2-t1)/(tm-t1);
valueAtTime(t)
