Dave,

For sure man, so generally how a project will work is, I’ll get a song, VO, and a script. From there, I lay the audio track down and make a couple simple cuts as needed to line up portions of the audio with animations I’m creating, nothing crazy, just a couple cuts and will move the audio up and down the timeline as needed, then, I’ll do the same with the VO if I need some space in between breaths, etc.

After the animation is done and clients have approved the piece, we’ll have the audio mixed.

Before the sound studio would just take the original audio files from them and reposition them on their end as they were in my final video, but in this instance, the audio place requested an OMF with the audio files in place as they were in my timeline.

I’ve been doing this for 10 years and never really had to deal with audio, as I’m mostly a designer/animator so it definitely felt like it was a very bizarre way to do it, but looking online didn’t really offer any other solutions and this is just kind of the one I came up with.

So I’m pretty much asking, how do you other guys do it?

Actually nevermind, you set me down the exact path I needed to be your help is immensely appreciated.

I went ahead and included the expression for anyone that is interested.

You are awesome though Dan!

p1 = [thisComp.width+100,value[1]];
p2 = [thisComp.width-thisComp.width-100,value[1]];
linear(time,0,1.40,p1,p2)

Dan,

Very awesome, that helps so much, I wasn’t even close.

I basically need this image I have to start off screen on the right and move across off screen to the left.

I tried, messing with the script you provided and i got the timing like I need it but I still can’t seem to have it move off screen, it seems to only be moving a couple of pixels over, any idea on that?

Thanks a ton, been trying to figure this out all day
