just in case somebody gets here via google, this is the final expression:


precompMarker = comp(name).marker;

var compMarker;
var triggerMarker;

if(marker.nearestKey(time).time <= time){
compMarker= marker.nearestKey(time).index;
}

else{
compMarker= marker.nearestKey(time).index -1;
}

if(compMarker< marker.numKeys) { // If the current marker is NOT the last, continue
if(compMarker< precompMarker.numKeys) { // If still in the first loop
triggerMarker= compMarker% precompMarker.numKeys;
}
if(compMarker>= precompMarker.numKeys) { // If entering / in any loop after the first
triggerMarker= compMarker% (precompMarker.numKeys - 1);
if(triggerMarker== 0) { // If the triggerMarker is 0 we have to assign it one before the last one of triggerMarker so we have a compplete loop
triggerMarker= precompMarker.numKeys - 1;
}
}
linear(time, marker.key(compMarker).time, marker.key(compMarker+1).time, precompMarker.key(triggerMarker).time, precompMarker.key(triggerMarker+1).time);
}


sorry for bothering you as a noob, I won’t post in your precious board again

So if anyone is interested, this is what I have right now:

The time-remapping works for one cycle of the markers in the precomp, then starts the loop again and repeats the first linear time-remapping again. I think the problem is the nextMarkerPrecomp = 2. Because After Effects’ expressions are weird to me as the keyframe index seems to start at 1 (?) and there is no console to easily check values, I’m not sure where to tackle the problem.

preComp = comp(name);

var previousMarker;
var nextMarkerPrecomp; // 2 weil scheinbar Marker Index 1 == erster Marker ist, NICHT 0

if(marker.nearestKey(time).time &lt;= time){
previousMarker = marker.nearestKey(time).index;
}

else{
previousMarker = marker.nearestKey(time).index -1;
}

if(previousMarker < marker.numKeys) {
if(time >= marker.key(previousMarker).time && time < marker.key(previousMarker+1).time){
if (previousMarker % preComp.marker.numKeys != 0) { // If next Precomp Marker is NOT the first
nextMarkerPrecomp = (previousMarker % preComp.marker.numKeys) + 1;
}
else { // Else reset the PreCompMarker index ! probably error here
nextMarkerPrecomp = 2;
}
// Then linear Timing between the current and next marker
linear(time, marker.key(previousMarker).time, marker.key(previousMarker+1).time, preComp.marker.key(nextMarkerPrecomp-1).time, preComp.marker.key(nextMarkerPrecomp).time);
}
}

bump … nobody with any idea ?
