Like this:

n = 2; // number of words to highlight
textTotal - textIndex < n ? 100 : 0

[Dan Ebberts]

One way would be to add an Expression Selector, delete the Range Selector, set the Expression Selector’s Based On to Words and use this expression for the Expression Selector’s Amount:

textIndex == textTotal ? 100 : 0

See if this gets you close:

freq = .25;
decay = 20;
delay = .05;
dur = .15;
myDelay = (textIndex-1)*delay;
if (time < (inPoint+outPoint)/2){
  t = time - (inPoint + myDelay);
}else{
  t = outPoint - myDelay - time+ -.1;
}
startVal = 100;
endVal = 0;
if(t < dur){
 linear(t,0,dur,startVal,endVal);
}else{
 amp = (endVal - startVal)/dur;
 w = freq*Math.PI*2;
 endVal + amp*(Math.sin(t*w)/Math.exp(decay*t)/w);
}

Just curious Paul, how did you get to “health”? I can’t repro that.

[Dan Ebberts]

That’s pretty much it. I used that simple form in the first expression because I was assuming that the first keyframe was at time = zero. If that isn’t the case, you have to use the more complex form that involves the times of both the first and last keyframes.

Can you post a screenshot of the timeline that includes the scale keyframes for the map layer?

[Dan Ebberts]

It’s hard to tell from what you’ve posted. Is the map zooming happening because you’re scaling the map layer, or is the scaling happening inside a map precomp, or is there a camera move involved? Unless you’re moving or scaling the layer that the markers are parented to, I wouldn’t expect them react.

I think that would be like this:

n = 0;
trig = 0;
for (i = 1; i <= thisComp.numLayers; i++){
  if (i == index) continue;
  if (thisComp.layer(i).name.indexOf("L_") == 0){
    if (time > thisComp.layer(i).inPoint){
      n++;
      trig = Math.max(trig,thisComp.layer(i).inPoint);
    }
  }
}
if (n > 0){
  d = key(numKeys).value - key(1).value;
  key(numKeys).value + (n-2)*d + valueAtTime(key(1).time + (time - trig)) - key(1).value
}else{
  key(1).value;
}

I think this will work for your layer in point scenario:

n = 0;
trig = 0;
for (i = 1; i <= thisComp.numLayers; i++){
  if (i == index) continue;
  if (thisComp.layer(i).name.indexOf("L_") == 0){
    if (time > thisComp.layer(i).inPoint){
      n++;
      trig = Math.max(trig,thisComp.layer(i).inPoint);
    }
  }
}
if (n > 0){
  d = key(numKeys).value - key(1).value;
  key(numKeys).value + (n-1)*d + valueAtTime(key(1).time + (time - trig)) - key(1).value
}else{
  value;
}

[Dan Ebberts]

I think that would be like this:

first = key(2).value;
second = key(3).value;
newValue = effect("Length 25-80")("Slider");
d = key(numKeys).time - key(1).time;
if (time < key(1).time){
  t = key(numKeys).time - (key(1).time - time)%d;
}else if (time > key(numKeys).time){
  t = key(1).time + (time - key(numKeys).time)%d;
}else{
  t = time;
}
linear(valueAtTime(t), first, second, first, newValue);
