Solution;

Removing if (m.key(n).time > time) n–; works for me

Final working expression

m = thisComp.layer("Action").marker;
n = 1;
if (m.numKeys > 1){
n = m.nearestKey(time).index;
}
if (n > 1){
t = m.key(n).time-.5;
time - t ;
}else
0

Hello guys,

I have below expression on time-remap property which triggers animation on the markers set on Action layer.

Is it possible to add certain frames of pre-roll to this expression so if the maker is set at 1 sec the transition start at 0.5 sec.

I have added n=1 so that it skips first marker as it does not require transition.

Thank you!

m =…

Hello guys,

I have a Layer which has 5 markers placed on it with respective number in marker comment. There is basic animation of scaling on a shape layer on x axis using linear() function. Is it possible to trigger same scale animation based on the maker crossed by playhead but adding 50 pixel on every marker crossed ?

eg. At first marker scale…

It works…Thank you Dan. Is it possible to explain what does t = n%2 ? dur – time%dur : time%dur; does here

Hi guys, I have a layer which basically animates from one point to other point on x-axis which has a custom speed values and duration of 2 secs. Currently I am achieving this by below expression function

function customBezier(t,tMin,tMax,value1,value2,bezierPoints){if(arguments.length!==6)return value;var a=value2-value1;var b=tMax-tMin;var…
