Thats it! Thank you very much. That saves a lot off time!

OK, found the problem, usermistake. I always have a layer selectet, that would not work.

But is there a way, that not only the layer is shown? I also like to see all the other layers, so i cant jump to the layer and work with that and the other layers.
Example: I search for a layer with a country name, the layer will be markt and i can select this layer and all the layers that are under that layer with city names.
Hope I explained it clear.

I also tried it before, the same thing.

[Björn Sieck]

Hmmm, when I try this nothing happened.

[Björn Sieck]

No, that is not what I’m looking for. Sorry.
I’m searching for something where I can type the name of the layer, for example “Atlantik Ocean” and the layer will be markt and shown.

Hello again,
I play around with the expressions here and I’ve got 2 problems I can’t fix.

This expression I use to control the 2nd and 3rd keyframe together, but its linear and I like to use the custom ease that I create.

sVal = thisComp.layer(“Control”).effect(“Text Position”)(“Slider”);

if (time < key(2).time)
y = linear(time,key(1).time,key(2).time,key(1).value[0],sVal)
else if (time < key(3).time)
y = sVal
else
y = linear(time,key(3).time,key(4).time,sVal,key(4).value[0]);
[value[0],y+230]

This expression I use to set the start position of a beam that comes in from the right:

x1 = thisComp.layer(“Control”).effect(“Beam Start Position”)(“Slider”);
x = value[0]*x1/key(1).value[0];
[x,value[1]]

I also like to control the end position of the beam on the left side with the last keyframe number 6 (or a different keyframe) with it’s own controller. Also with custom ease (I think that is line two in this expression). I tried to combine this two expressions but I don’t know how. The other thing is, when I change the first keyframe with the slider, also the last keyframe (number 6) changes the position, but I don’t want it in this way.

It would be nice to get some help. Thank you.

[Björn Sieck]

Thank you, that works.

Hi Dan,
this is for the X – axis

x2 = thisComp.layer(“Null 1”).effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”);
x = linear(time,key(1).time,key(2).time,key(1).value[0],x2);
[x,value[1]]

and how does it work for the Y – axis? I tried to change X to Y and I also played with the values, but I only can control the X – axis.
I Have 2 keyframes on the Y – axis for Position.
I also tried to separate X and Y Position.

Thanks for a little help.
B.
