I just tried this and it seems to work:

var myLayer = app.project.activeItem.layer(1);
var myMarker = new MarkerValue(“my comment”);
myMarker.label = 1; // red
myLayer.property(“Marker”).setValueAtTime(1, myMarker);

I’m not sure if this does what you want, but give it a try:

var myGroup = app.project.activeItem.selectedLayers[0].property(“Contents”).addProperty(“ADBE Vector Group”);
myGroup.moveTo(1);

This should morph between the two keyframe values, based on the audio amplitude:

amp = thisComp.layer(“Audio Amplitude”).effect(“Both Channels”)(“Slider”);
maxAmp = 20; // get this value by looking at the audio keyframes in graph editor
t = linear(amp,0,maxAmp,key(1).time,key(numKeys).time);
valueAtTime(t)

Not that I know of. I always just have the script create a Point Control, apply the toComp() expression to it, harvest the result, and delete the control. It’s cumbersome, but it works.

Try this:

L = thisComp.layer(“Null 1”);
fromComp(L.toComp(L.anchorPoint))

As far as I know, there’s no easy way to do it. You have to create a new keyframe, and copy all the attributes from the original keyframe. It’s somewhat complicated, but you may be able to find some good examples out there.

I guess you’d have to move the part that calculates moveAmt into the section after n is calculated, like this (not tested):


m = marker;
n = 0;
moveTime = .2;

if (m.numKeys > 0){
n = m.nearestKey(time).index;
if (time < m.key(n).time) n--;
}
if (n > 0){
innerMessageHeight = comp("Messages_Comp").layer(index+n).sourceRectAtTime().height+20;
moveAmt = innerMessageHeight;
t = time - m.key(n).time;
value + [-(n-1)*moveAmt-ease(t,0,moveTime,0,moveAmt)];
}else
value

Actaully, I’d change the whole last part to this:


if (m.numKeys > 0){
n = m.nearestKey(time).index;
if (time < m.key(n).time) n--;
}
if (n > 0){
t = time - m.key(n).time;
value + [-(n-1)*moveAmt-ease(t,0,moveTime,0,moveAmt)];
}else
value

For one thing, I think you need to switch the order of these two lines:

t = time – m.key(n).time;
if (time < m.key(n).time) n–;

Try this:

var myProperty = app.project.activeItem.selectedProperties[0];
var myLayer = myProperty.propertyGroup(myProperty.propertyDepth);
