I think you can use the same expressions, just replace 100 and 0 with 0,-192

m=thisComp.marker;
n = 0;
if (m.numKeys > 0){
n = m.nearestKey(time).index;
}
if (n > 0){
t = time - m.key(n).time;
if (Math.abs(t) <= 5*thisComp.frameDuration) 0 else -192
}else
value

if (marker.numKeys > 0){
m = marker.nearestKey(time);
t = m.time;
if (m.index%2){
ease(time,t,t+2*thisComp.frameDuration,0,-192)
}else{
ease(time,t,t+3*thisComp.frameDuration,-192,0)
}
}else{
value
}

By now you may think I am a wizard :D. Actually, I use this document a lot. Just go in, search blending mode. I, however, came up with the number values with my own method. So I am half a wizard.

Take care!

I got the correct answer from this post

https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects/sourcerectattime-and-text-animation-unsync/td-p/10751331?page=1

But when I tried to post the answer here I received a restriction because the forum thought it was spam.

Apparently, sourceRectAtTime() is not in sync with comp time. I used sourceTime() instead of time. And when referring to another layer’s sourceRectAtTime(), you have to address that layer’s sourceTime().

Like this. You can put any number you need as the sourceTime() argument. Now if I change the placement of my layer in the time line, the expression updates to the new time.

L = thisComp.layer("Test");

R = L.sourceRectAtTime(L.sourceTime(inPoint),false);

Thank you both for answering.

You increase the space by moving the shapes up and down? Because if you do this, things are not very complicated.

But if you move them left and right and the circle must stay in center and grow as the space gets bigger, thing get a lot more complicated.

I tried to link my layer size to another size from another comp like this

ReadScale=comp("Comp 1").layer(index).transform.scale[0]
[ReadScale,ReadScale]

It did not work, but the 2nd row was the problem. I tried adding a new array and setting its value to [ReadScale,ReadScale] and it worked. Maybe this is your problem?

ReadScale=comp("Comp 1").layer(index).transform.scale[0]
x = [ReadScale,ReadScale];
x

I think you should use this expression for the “Start” of the typewriter effect. You can link dur and timeToStart to your sliders

timeToStart = 2;

dur = 2;

linear(time,timeToStart, timeToStart+dur,0,100)

This is a very nice introductory video for master properties and how to use them.

I hoped for an easier solution for some curved paths.

Hey Filip, that’s a very nice expression.
Just curious, do you think that could be made to work with multiple shapes and only a trim paths that completes them individually?

I don’t know if this fits perfectly with your project, but something like this on every Headline scale


w1 = thisComp.layer("HEADLINE_01").width;
w2 = thisComp.layer("HEADLINE_02").width;
w3 = thisComp.layer("HEADLINE_03").width;
w4 = thisComp.layer("HEADLINE_04").width;
maxWidth = Math.max(w1,w2,w3,w4);
s = Math.min((100 * 900) / maxWidth, 100);
[s, s];
