Apply it to the anchor point instead of the position?

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Dan.

I think i figured everything out but boy does it slow down AE.
Probably because I have to apply it to over 50 layers.
It’s a shame there’s no proper trigger function.

Can’t you just use 2 keyframes spaced out by 100frames instead of the 1?

I’m looking from something simialar.
I need to trigger a set linear movement over 3 seconds, but it needs to be triggered when a slider on another layer passes the number 5. Does anyone know if this is even possible?

Firstly, panning isnt the camera moving sideways, thats tracking.

You could try tracking a point on the car, then use the created null as a parent for the rest of the effects.

Could always time remap the layer to suit the markers right?
There’s no way of selecting multiple markers.

I would have thought separating the dimensions of positions of each, then parenting the Z axis of the sky to the Z axis of the camera would have worked.

Hi Dan,

Firstly, many thanks for the reply, you’re an inspiration to many AE’ers!
Keep up the great work in helping the community!

The expression worked great, so I replaced any values which were unique to that layers number, to a slider number to match the #NUMBER of that layer.
The result was as follows! So I could just paste it on each layer.

Would you happen to know where I can learn more about what expressions to use and when, most of the time I know what I need to do, just not the language!

num = thisComp.layer("Sure Target").effect("Sure Target")(18);

if (num < effect("Slider Control")(1))

z = ease (num,effect("Slider Control")(1)-1,effect("Slider Control")(1),0,900)

else

z = ease(num,effect("Slider Control")(1),effect("Slider Control")(1)+1,900,0);

value + [0,0,z]
