I rushing through it, I made the code more complicated than necessary. This should work for the first version:


temp = thisComp.layer("Reveal Text Box").content("Rectangle Path 1").size[1];
if (time < key(2).time)
easeOut(time,key(1).time,key(2).time,[0,temp],[0,0])
else
easeIn(time,key(3).time,key(4).time,[0,0],[0,temp]);


and the second:


temp = thisComp.layer("Reveal Text Box").content("Rectangle Path 1").size[1];
if (time < key(2).time)
easeOut(time,key(1).time,key(2).time,[0,0],[0,temp])
else
easeIn(time,key(3).time,key(4).time,[0,temp],[0,0]);

It sounds do-able, but it seems like there’s info missing. Maybe a more detailed example would help.

Dan

[Dan Ebberts]

That would be like this:


temp = thisComp.layer("Reveal Text Box").content("Rectangle 1").content("Rectangle Path 1").size[1]
if (time < key(1).time)
[0, 0]
else if (time < key(2).time)
easeOut(time,key(1).time,key(2).time,[0,0],[0,temp])
else
easeIn(time,key(3).time,key(4).time,[0,temp],[0,0]);


Also, the previous version has a typo in it. The last line should have been like this:

easeIn(time,key(3).time,key(4).time,[0,0],[0,temp]);

I guess something like this could work:


temp = thisComp.layer("Reveal Text Box").content("Rectangle Path 1").size[1];
if (time < key(1).time)
[0, temp]
else if (time < key(2).time)
easeOut(time,key(1).time,key(2).time,[0,temp],[0,0])
else
easeIn(time,key(3).time,key(4).time,[00],[0,temp]);

It depends. What’s happening between the keyframes? Is there any easing going on?

Dan

[Dan Ebberts]

If you drag the file into your comp’s timeline, you can get at it like this:

thisComp.layer(“Values.csv”)(“Data”)(“Number of Rows”)

Something like this should let you control the start of the keyframe sequence with the In Point slider, and the duration with the Duration slider:


ip = effect("In Point")("Schieberegler");
d = effect("Duration")("Schieberegler");
if (time < ip){
key(1).value
}else if (time < ip + d){
t = linear(time-ip,0,d,key(1).time,key(numKeys).time);
valueAtTime(t)
}else{
key(numKeys).value
}

This should work:


function CopyLayerMarkersToComp(){
var theComp = app.project.activeItem;
if ((theComp == null) || ! (theComp instanceof CompItem)){
alert ("No comp active.");
return;
}
if (theComp.selectedLayers.length == 0){
alert("No layer selected.");
return;
}
var theLayers = theComp.selectedLayers;
var theLayer;
var theMarker = new MarkerValue("");
var theTime;
for (var i = 0; i < theLayers.length;i++){
theLayer = theLayers[i];
for (var j = 1; j <= theLayer.property("Marker").numKeys; j++){
theTime = theLayer.property("Marker").keyTime(j);
theMarker = theLayer.property("Marker").keyValue(j);
theComp.markerProperty.setValueAtTime(theTime,theMarker);
}
}
}
CopyLayerMarkersToComp();


Of course only one comp marker can exist at a given time, so if two selected layers have markers at the same time, the layer selected last wins.

If the selected property is the effect itself (not if it belongs to an effect) you should get “dog”.

Dan

[Dan Ebberts]

When you do this:

var myProp = selectProps.isEffect;

myProp will be a boolean, so then you can do this:

var T = myProp ? “dog” : “cat”

or, closer to the way you were doing it:

if (myProp)
var T = “dog”
else
var T = “cat”;

In any case, you don’t need to do this:

if (myProp == “false”)

you would do this instead:

if (! myProp)

or, if you insist on doing it that way, at least lose the quotes:

if (myProp == false)
