Thanks, but this seems to be giving the position of both keyframes, hence no animation…
I need it to affect only the second keyframe…
Any other guesses?

[John Pritchett]

t1 = key(1).time;
t2 = key(2).time;
d = t2-t1;
t = linear(time,thisComp.duration-d,thisComp.duration-.1,t1,t2);
valueAtTime(t)

[John Pritchett]

Dan, you are truly a master.
Works almost perfectly!
The animation is not finishing completely 1 frame from the end of the comp..
I added a thisComp minus .1sec, and it works fine.

Thank you.

t1 = key(1).time;
t2 = key(2).time;
d = t2-t1;
t = linear(time,thisComp.duration-d,thisComp.duration-.1,t1,t2);
valueAtTime(t)

Hey Tomas.. Yes, things are working correctly as I want without the last line…
What I am attempting, is to have a position and opacity animation (simple 2 keyframes on each attribute) The comp marker is dictating when the animation finishes…all working fine so far.

I need to have another script to switch visibility on or off triggered by a Slider (if number 1 its off, if number 2 its off, if number 3 its on)HOWEVER. the opacity is being used in the animation… so I guess I need to use valueAtTime somehow…

Thanks Oleg, This is very strange. I added your suggestion (to the bottom of another attribute, but this will give the correct outcome)…and it works…however its throwing up an expression error…
This is what I have now

if(thisComp.layer(“Control Panel”).effect(“TEXT ALIGINMENT RIGHT LEFT”)(“Checkbox”) ==1) 0 else value;
if(thisComp.layer(“Control Panel”).effect(“NUMBER OF LINES 1, 2 or 3”)(“Slider”) == 3) valueAtTime(t) else 0;

Basically asking a checkbox to turn opacity on or off, AND a slider to turn opacity on or off..
This is for a 3 line Lower Third.

Im having a similar issue here Alan! I have a feeling your file directory could be incorrect.
Im importing Sony F55 RAW mxf media using media browser. It sees all the individual mxf clips but not as an entire ‘reel’.
Next issue is the way Media Browser is seeing the RAW clips. They are massively blown out. I assume this is due to PP not reading the XML sidecar file & therefore not displaying the RAW correctly.
Resolve ‘sees’ them correctly. For previous versions of PP there was a plugin that needed to be installed. On CC 2015 apparently this is built into the software on install…but doesn’t seem to be functioning on my system…
Lets hope someone knows???

Hi Dan,
Sorry for the slow reply. I have been on and off this job.
It would be great if you could help me out. There is no urgent rush.
How to I get you the job file?
Thanks

[John Pritchett]

OK Dan. Ive been working on this script now for a few days with no luck.
Is there any chance I can send you my AE project file? This may give you a better idea of what I am trying to achieve.
Many Thanks

OK. Kevin, I think you might have the answer.
But I really have no idea how to implement.
I guess I need 2 controllers.
– The main controller to determine what colour to use. (red, green, turquise, blue, purple or magenta)
– The shade controller to determine what shade of the above colours to use. (shade 1 to 6)
I would prefer to have the colour control to be 6 check boxes to clearly label each colour, rather than a slider with a number relating to a colour….

So I would be looking for:
If red checkbox is on, apply-

s = thisComp.layer(“Colour Controls”).effect(“Colour”)(“Slider”);
colors = [[255,255,255],
[179,32,52],
[232,73,27],
[239,125,0],
[252,192,67],
[255,229,150]];
idx = Math.max(Math.min(colors.length-1,Math.round(s)-1),0);
c = colors[idx]/255;
[c[0],c[1],c[2],1]

If green checkbox is on, apply-

s = thisComp.layer(“Colour Controls”).effect(“Colour”)(“Slider”);
colors = [[255,255,255],
[0,104,51],
[19,165,56],
[162,199,59],
[221,223,75],
[255,242,101]];
idx = Math.max(Math.min(colors.length-1,Math.round(s)-1),0);
c = colors[idx]/255;
[c[0],c[1],c[2],1]

etc etc for all shades.

Any ideas?
Many thanks

[John Pritchett]

OK. Thanks Dan this works OK for the solid layers, but not the Text layers…. When I apply this method, the entire layer gets filled….
I have added below the script to change the colour of the fill.
Basically I have 6 colour ways, each containing 6 shades of that colour.
I currently have a controller choosing what shade gets selected in the Fill.
Is there a way to add another controller to or check box to enable or disable scripts?
This would be so I can take the approach of having one Fill effect with a script for each colour (6 colours x 6 shades), instead of 6 Fill effects with less complex scripts…
Does this make sense???
Much Appreciated.

s = thisComp.layer("Colour Controls").effect("NAME Colour")("Slider");
colors = [[255,255,255],
[179,32,52],
[232,73,27],
[239,125,0],
[252,192,67],
[255,229,150]];
idx = Math.max(Math.min(colors.length-1,Math.round(s)-1),0);
c = colors[idx]/255;
[c[0],c[1],c[2],1]
