Using linear expression twice in one layer

[Danyl Bernard]

Hi all,

I have two linear expressions like this

compLength = thisComp.duration;
linear(time, inPoint, 1.2, [-1035.6667], [-2655.907]);  

linear(time, compLength + .2, compLength - 1, -2655.907, -7500);

The first one changes the z parameter for the beginning of the comp, and the second one changes the end. But for some reason, only the second expression works.

If I split them into two different layers and cut the layer midpoint in the comp, they both work fine. However, using them in the same comp doesn’t work.

Also, how do I use a parameter like scale that has more than 1 parameter while using linear()

Thank you

Try it this way:

compLength = thisComp.duration;
if (time <= 1.2)
  linear(time, inPoint, 1.2, -1035.6667, -2655.907)
else  
  linear(time, compLength - 1, compLength + .2, -2655.907, -7500);

Hi,

It’s been a while, but this worked great.

Thank you
