It depends on how you want to do it exactly. Here’s an example that replaces layer Solid 2’s source with layer Solid 1’s source:

var myComp = app.project.activeItem;
var source = myComp.layer("Solid 1").source;
myComp.layer("Solid 2").replaceSource(source,false);

Maybe just Alt+drag from the Solids folder in the Project panel onto the layer?

I wish I could help, but I don’t get it. Maybe somebody else will…

I’m not sure exactly what you’re after, but if you wanted to delay the effect of an animated stagger slider based on textIndex, you would stick something like this in there (not tested):

delay = .1;
myDelay = delay*(textIndex-1);
stggr = effect("Stagger")("Slider").valueAtTime(time-myDelay);

[Dan Ebberts]

Probably because I didn’t read your previous question correctly. 🙂

Try this one:

p = thisComp.layer("Target").position;
animateFrames = 15;
lim = 60;
d = p.valueAtTime(0) - position;
triggered = Math.abs(d[0]) <= 60 && Math.abs(d[1]) <= 60;
fCur = timeToFrames(time);
f = 1;
fSave = 0;
n = 0;
while (f <= fCur){
  d = p.valueAtTime(framesToTime(f)) - position;
  if (triggered){
    if (Math.abs(d[0]) > 60 || Math.abs(d[1]) > 60){
      triggered = false;
    }
  }else{
    if (Math.abs(d[0]) <= 60 && Math.abs(d[1]) <= 60){
      n++;
      triggered = true;
      fSave = f;
    }
  }
  f++
}
r = 0;
if (n > 0){
  r = (n-1)*90 + ease(fCur-fSave,0,animateFrames,0,90);
}
value + r

I think you’d have to double up on everything, like this maybe:

p = thisComp.layer("Target").position;
animateFrames = 15;
triggeredH = p.valueAtTime(0)[0] >= position[0];
triggeredV= p.valueAtTime(0)[1] >= position[1];
fCur = timeToFrames(time);
f = 1;
fSaveH = 0;
fSaveV = 0;
nH = 0;
nV = 0;
while (f <= fCur){
  if (triggeredH){
    if (p.valueAtTime(framesToTime(f))[0] < position[0]){
      triggeredH = false;
    }
  }else{
    if (p.valueAtTime(framesToTime(f))[0] >= position[0]){
      nH++;
      triggeredH = true;
      fSaveH = f;
    }
  }
  if (triggeredV){
    if (p.valueAtTime(framesToTime(f))[1] < position[1]){
      triggeredV = false;
    }
  }else{
    if (p.valueAtTime(framesToTime(f))[1] >= position[1]){
      nV++;
      triggeredV = true;
      fSaveV = f;
    }
  }
  f++
}
rV = 0;
rH = 0;
if (nH > 0){
  rH = (nH-1)*90 + ease(fCur-fSaveH,0,animateFrames,0,90);
}
if (nV > 0){
  rV = (nV-1)*90 + ease(fCur-fSaveV,0,animateFrames,0,90);
}
value + rV + rH

Like this, I think:

var kfTime = 1;
var kfValue = 0;
var myLayer = app.project.activeItem.layer("My text");
myLayer.property("Text").property("Animators").property("Animator 1").property("Selectors").property("Range Selector 1").property("Start").setValueAtTime(kfTime,kfValue);

[Dan Ebberts]

This should work:

timeToFrames(time-inPoint)

[Dan Ebberts]

In theory you could probably do that. You’d have to document all the steps you used to create the animation and covert that to script code. The script would also need a UI where your team could enter new values to modify the animation. Depending on how much work went into setting it up in the first place, this could turn out to be a significant effort.

[Dan Ebberts]

Something like this maybe:

p = thisComp.layer("Target").position;
animateFrames = 15;
triggered = p.valueAtTime(0)[1] >= position[1];
fCur = timeToFrames(time);
f = 1;
fSave = 0;
n = 0;
while (f <= fCur){
  if (triggered){
    if (p.valueAtTime(framesToTime(f))[1] < position[1]){
      triggered = false;
    }
  }else{
    if (p.valueAtTime(framesToTime(f))[1] >= position[1]){
      n++;
      triggered = true;
      fSave = f;
    }
  }
  f++
}
r = 0;
if (n > 0){
  r = (n-1)*90 + ease(fCur-fSave,0,animateFrames,0,90);
}
value + r
