thanks for the efforts. i know its an annoying one.

Yup thats the definitely the problem. Is there anyway for this to work with toggle hold keyframes? so i can create a type writer style animation?

[Gerald mark Soto]

its not working for me because im using toggle hold keyframes. Im recreating a typing style animation letter by letter with pauses in-between some letters. so the animation stops after each keyframe.

[Gerald mark Soto]

text evo would not be an option. I require the SourceRectTime of the text layer. I eventually want this type layer to drive the size of a box that it will be on top of. You cant use TextEvo for that.

Ok. so back to the expression. that i was using. it actually does work. but the animation poses at each keyframe. you need to try it out your self to see what I mean. essentially this expression works but each key letter should play out the animation independently as it appears. any ideas?

—–

s = Math.round(effect("Slider Control")("Slider").value);
fadeDuration = 10;
if (textIndex < s - fadeDuration) {
    0;
} else if (textIndex >= s) {
    100;
} else {
    ease(textIndex, s - fadeDuration, s, 0, 100);
}

Oh never mind. i ram previewed my expression and its moving so slow and at like 4 frames per second. it definitely did not work.

[Gerald mark Soto]

this is sorta working but it stops animating after i run out of keyframes.

—–

s = Math.round(effect(“Text_Reveal”)(“Slider”).value);

if (textIndex == s)

70

else if (textIndex < s)

0

else

100

It doesnt exactly work. It snaps into position rather than animate slide up. any ideas sir?

[Gerald mark Soto]

Heads up, I added one extra inPoint, so this expression can work anywhere on the timeline not just frame zero. Thanks again.

freq = 2;
amplitude = 350;
decay = 6;
easeTime = 0.7;
if (time >= inPoint){
  val = amplitude*Math.sin(freq*time*2*Math.PI)/Math.exp(decay*(time-inPoint));
  easeIn((time-inPoint),0,easeTime,0,val)
}
else{value}

[Gerald mark Soto]

Thank you sir, it worked like a charm.💪
