Got a response from Paul Slemmer:

“You control the smoothness using the keyframes on the influence parameter in the pseudoeffect. If you want it to cut, just bring the influence keyframes only a frame apart. If you want to cut the text on but still have it animate into place, just add two instances of Type Array and use one for opacity and one for animation”

This worked for me, if anyone else runs into this issue.

Sorry Dan.

Your original response worked out for me. I think we simultaneously posted responses and it overlapped.

Really appreciate your quick responses.

Best,
Chris

Great!

Thanks Dan

This seemed to work, but jumps back to the first color after it hits the 2nd keyframe, any solutions? or simplified code?

if (numKeys<1){
value;
}
else{
idx1 = nearestKey(time).index;
if (key(idx1).time>time) idx1--;
idx2 = idx1+1;
if (idx1&lt;1) idx1=1 else if (numKeys<idx2) idx2=numKeys;
val1 = thisComp.layer("COLOR").effect("color")("Color");
val2 = thisComp.layer("COLOR").effect("color 2")("Color");

linear(time, key(idx1).time, key(idx2).time, val1, val2);
};

Hi,

I can’t seem to get it to work when its 2 linear keyframes. How would you rewrite it for 2 linear keyframes where I want to only change the color value of the first keyframe?

[Chris Jung]

Worked perfectly, thank you so much!
