This is perfect, thanks! Since time remapping is now controlled by the expression, is there a way to adjust speed of clip playback when it comes on screen with the expression?

So here is an .aep file (from CC 2014, but I also have CC 2019). The layout is just a rough sketch at this point and I’ve attached thumbnails of the clips in lieu of the full-sized files, but the general idea is just having each clip start to play when its border reaches the comp boundaries. I’m thinking that the point at which the clip comes on screen will be determined by a null parent layer that controls the speed of the animation as I’ve done here, but I’ve also thought of arranging the whole thing in a precomp.

The first frame of each clip should be just the actual first frame, unless I’m misunderstanding the question.

I’ve also attached a thumbnail preview of the (very) rough sketch of the entire list of clips that will be scrolled through.

Thanks!

Thanks for the response. Yeah that sounds like it would work! Do you have any leads for expressions that I could use as templates to work from? I haven’t worked with expressions before and can’t really write scripts.
