I see 2 ways there. Either create 30 arrays with the rank on each team per day(like tottenham = [12,11,14,etc]) or one with days and the teams(day1 = [“Manchester”,”Liverpool”]) etc. The days approach would be maybe nicer to read.

So if we take the second approach you must create a json file that is similar to this:

{

"day1":[
"Manchester",
"Liverpool",
"Chelsea"
],
"day2":[
"Liverpool",
"Manchester",
"Chelsea"
],
"day3":[
"Liverpool",
"Manchester",
"Tottenham"
],
"day4":[
"Liverpool",
"Spurs",
"Chelsea"
]
}

The easiest approach inside the after effects is to create 30 text layers(they must start from index 1) and write this to their textSource:

eval("var standings =" + footage("delete this.json").sourceText);
delay = 3;
dayNumber = 4;
x = "day"+(Math.floor(time/delay)+1);
(time/delay<4) ? standings[x][index-1] : value;

Delay is how often they change, dayNumber is the total number of days.

If you want to animate the position of those teams, it’s a more sophisticated matter.

I think this may be what you need

if (time>key(2).time){
x = linear(position[0], key(2).value[0], key(3).value[0],key(2).value[0], thisComp.layer("Control Null")("Transform")("Position")[0]);
y = linear(position[1], key(2).value[1], key(3).value[1],key(2).value[1], thisComp.layer("Control Null")("Transform")("Position")[1]);
[x,y]
}else{
value
}

This works as long as you do not need to modify anything after the 3rd keyframe.
You can also calculate the third position, instead of linking it to a layer.
This also allows you to interpolate the animation as you want(it takes the easing from the keyframes, it just modifies the values).

This may work.
p = thisComp.layer("Shape Layer 2").transform.position;
v1 = key(1).value;
v2 = key(2).value;
linear(value[1],v1[1],v2[1],p,v1);

So you try to go for the largest layer, but not over 100?

Layer1Width = thisComp.layer("LINE_01").sourceRectAtTime().width;
Layer2Width = thisComp.layer("LINE_02").sourceRectAtTime().width;
Layer3Width = thisComp.layer("LINE_03").sourceRectAtTime().width;

LayerRatio = 100 * 1700 /Math.max( Layer1Width, Layer2Width, Layer3Width);
(LayerRatio<100) ? [LayerRatio, LayerRatio] : [100,100];

You can put however many layers you wish.

Not sure tour 3 text way is the best, but in a lack of solutions, here we go. I think this should work.

len1 = length(position, thisComp.layer("Text1").position);
len2= length(position, thisComp.layer("Text2").position);
len3 = length(position, thisComp.layer("Text3").position);
len4 = length(position, thisComp.layer("Text4").position);
t = Math.min(len1, len2, len3, len4);
s = ease(t, 200, 0, 0, 100);
[s, s]

linear(time,t1,t2,value1,value2)

t1 – initial time
t2 – final time
value1 – initial value
value2 – final value

Instead of writing value2 you should pick-whip your slider.

Try this

var myName = app.project.activeItem.selectedLayers[0];
var size=app.project.activeItem.selectedLayers[0].sourceRectAtTime(app.project.activeItem.time,false);
var myComp1 = app.project.items.addComp(myName.name,Math.round(size.width),Math.round(size.height),1,10,30);

Why do you use the last alert? That is what give undefined. You have an alert inside the function that works ok. Then, when you try to allert the result of the function, it is undefined. To change that either remove the last alert, or return something with the function.

[Andrei Popa] “And your behaviour is due to the handeling of the array “txt”. Subtract 1 from marker instead of adding. You are starting from row 3.”

That was the difference in our code.
