You could use:

marker.key(index)

Based on the angles that are causing the issue, I’d guess that it’s gimbal lock, which is tough to deal with. One fairly drastic solution that I’ve used is to switch to quaternions, but that’s a lot of work (and code) to implement, but it does eliminate the problem. Sorry, I wish I had better news.

OK, I didn’t understand what you’re doing. Try this. Add an Opacity Animator and set the Opacity value to 100. Add an Expression Selector and delete the Range Selector. Set the Expression Selector “Based On” parameter to Words, and replace the Amount expression with this:


fade = .25;
m = thisComp.layer("R.Smalls.mp4").marker;
n = 0;
if (m.numKeys > 0){
n = m.nearestKey(time).index;
if (time < m.key(n).time) n--;
}
if (textIndex < n){
0;
}else if (textIndex == n){
t = time - m.key(n).time;
ease(t,0,fade,100,0);
}else{
100;
}

In general, I think animating the wiggle frequency isn’t going to turn out the way you hope. For more info, see this:

I’m not sure what I’d recommend though…

This should work:

w = wiggle(1,100);
[value[0],value[1],w[2]]

For your latest question, you could use an opacity expression like this for the text:

fade = .25;
m = thisComp.layer(“1.mp3”).marker;
n = 0;
if (m.numKeys > 0){
n = m.nearestKey(time).index;
}
if (n == 0){
0;
}else if (n == 1){
t = time – m.key(n).time;
ease(t,0,fade,0,100);
}else{
if (time < m.key(n).time){
t = m.key(n).time – time;
ease(t,0,fade,0,100);
}else{
t = time – m.key(n).time;
ease(t,0,fade,0,100);
}
}

What did you mean by this:

“it simply doesn’t work”

What were you expecting vs. what actually happened?

Dan

[Dan Ebberts]

Something like this should work:


count = 0;
for (i = 1; i < index; i++){
L = thisComp.layer(i);
try{
if (L.text.sourceText.value.indexOf("title") > -1) count++;
}catch(e){
}
}
count

Try this:

min = 22;
max = 33;
freq = 1;
avg = (max+min)/2;
avg + wiggle(freq,(max-min)/2)-value

How about just:

loopOut()
