Thanks for the response Dan.

Can’t believe it was that easy.
Thank you so much.
Really appreciated.

I want the shoulders to move forward when the pedal is from 0° to180° and to move backwards from 180° to 360°.
(I have the degrees in negative in my comp).
What I try to achieve with my code is subtracting 360*revolutions each time it moves a whole cycle, but I’m sure it’s a lot easier than that.

My bad, the effect was at 3:48 (I wrote this post on my phone so it messed with my typo a bit)

I solved it yesterday after doing something very basic, I’m posting it here in case someone finds it useful:

The issue:
Matching a layer’s movement to the movement of a trimmed path.

1-Set keyframes for start and end of the trimmed animation
2-Copy the path of the trimmed shape and paste it in a Null’s position
3-Expand the time of the Null’s position to match the start and end of the trimmed layer.
4-Check on Null how many frames it moves per second
5-Apply to the layer
6-Precompose and adjust timing if needed/desired.

It was a lot easier than it looked; it may not be the most elegant way but it gets the job done.
