  • Way to add specific value every keyframe?

    Posted by Brian Ness on October 16, 2018 at 1:25 am

    Hi, I’m currently working on a project with an animated Start and End position. Each keyframe, the Start and End position have to be changed by adding 0.5076 to their value.

    Is there an expression that will do this automatically instead of having to do it manually?

    Example: value for End in keyframe 1 is 0.5076. Keyframe 2 is 1.0152. Keyframe 3 is 1.5228, etc

    I use CS6 if that helps at all.

    Much appreciated!

    What do you mean by “animated start and end position” on the same keyframe?

    I’m doing a text animation with keyframed values for the the Start and End under the Range Selector. I found that what I’m trying to accomplish works by adding 0.5076 to both the Start and End values. So instead of doing this for each frame in the composition, I’m wondering if there’s a way for AE to do this automatically, through an expression or otherwise.

    Hope that makes sense, it’s been years since I’ve worked in AE and I feel very much out of practice.

    Since they’re linear keyframes, maybe all you need is:

    value + 0.5076
