A little late to the party, but here’s a fun thing to try. Add this expression to the diffuse and specular material options of your 3D layer:

decay = .001; // speed of falloff
d100pct = 200; // distance from light where falloff begins

L = thisComp.layer(“Light 1”);

d = length(L.position,position);
if (d < d100pct){ value; }else{ value/Math.exp((d-d100pct)*decay); } The first parameter has the most effect on how fast layers get dark as they move away from the light. The advantages of this approach are that the layers don't become transparent and the effect is independent for each layer since the intensity of the light itself is not affected. Dan

It works, but it should really be like this for a horizontal scroll:

spd = 1.0; //scroll speed (pixels per second)

[width,height]/2 + [time*spd,0]

Or like this for a vertical scroll:

spd = 1.0; //scroll speed (pixels per second)

[width,height]/2 + [0,time*spd]

How about only one copy of the image with the Offset effect with this expression for Shift Center To:

spd = 1.0; //scroll speed (pixels per second)

[width,height]/2 + time*spd

Add a seedRandom(seed) statement at the start of each expression (with a different seed value for each expression)

It looks like you have to go all the way back to 5.5 to get it to work. And of course, with 5.5 there weren’t text layers so there’s not much you can do with it. 🙂

Aharon,

If they’re just numbered sequentially, this expression for source text will give the number of the most recent marker:

L = thisComp.layer(“audio layer”);

n = 0;
if (L.marker.numKeys > 0){
n = L.marker.nearestKey(time).index;
if (L.marker.key(n).time > time){
n–;
}
}
if (n==0)”” else n
