Ah, ok. So I’m getting the offsets like this (just for anyone interested)

    currentOffset = 0;
    totalOffset = 0;
    previousOffset = 0;
    
    for(i=1; i < n-1; i++) {
        currentOffset = getContentHeight(i);
        totalOffset += currentOffset;
        if (i < n-2) {
            previousOffset += currentOffset;
        }
    }

And since I want…

Oh wow, you’re awesome. Thanks a lot. I forgot to remove it after changing from a while loop.

I’ve also noted that a couple of markers where off by a couple of frames resulting in a wrong calculation by sourceRectAtTime().

One last thing: Do you know why it’s not easing the animation? It’s just a jump cut. I’d love to do a ease out for 1s. But this…

Hmm, I guess that my marker detection is somewhat off because it’s only sliding up every second marker. Is looking for nearestKey the right thing to do if I want to push the content up as soon as the marker has been passed?

Thanks a lot for your help, Dan!

<div>So I’m getting closer but something still seems off as at some markers the calculatioin doesnt seem to fit. Can you spot something I’m missing?</div><div>

day = "DI_";
margin = effect("Margin")("ADBE Slider Control-0001");
m = marker;
transitionTime = .5;
n = 0;

getContentHeight = function(layerID) {
    layerID--; // exclude current layer from…

Hey Dan,

I guess your analysis is spot on. I was thinking that there is some sort of state saving. How would you handle this? Create a recurrsive loop to sum up all previous heights? Or is there a more elegant way?

Hi Dan,

thanks for your response. Quite a legend you are. 🙂

So: I’m trying to change the value of the slider that is on the very same layer and is supposed to handle the position of the element. This is related to my other question

Auto-slide Null to position on marker

The idea is to use the slider to save the…

Hi everyone,

I’m having difficulties getting the expression right for the following setup:

Imagine a timetable with lots of different agenda items from top to bottom. Each agenda item is in it’s own layer precomposed and sequencially played in my main timetable comp (see attached photo). So every x seconds a new agenda item is shown at the bottom.…

Hi there,

is there any way I can change the value of expression controllers (slider, point, color etc) via expression? I can’t seem to find an answer to this as a simple:

effect(“Offset”)(“ADBE Slider Control-0001”) = 30;

Results in a “cannot assign value” error.

There must be some way to do this, right?

Thanks!
