Thank you!!!

It works, you are the man!

Does that mean your turning the values in D to 0 and if it’s not 0 then use C?

I’m just trying to understand it. Thanks for your patience.

That worked but say I want more than just one frame to move the position, would I add an array? Or is there some way of bracketing that says if the value is one of these numbers then B?

A = timeToFrames(thisComp.layer(“Mouths.mov”).timeRemap);
B = [377.5, 606.0]; //chin down
C = [377.5, 597.0]; //chin up
D = [2,3,6,9}; //frames to move chin down

if (A == D){B;}else{C;}

Thanks so much for your help.

Here’s what I’ve gotten so far….

I put this on the position of my chin layer:

A = framesToTime(thisComp.layer(“Mouths.mov”).timeRemap);
B = [377.5, 606.0]; // chin down
C = [377.5, 597.0]; // chin up

if (A == 7){B;} else{C;}

Cool! Thanks for all the help, you rock!

They seem to be all lined up correctly. I tried shifting them back and forth on the z-axis and rearranging layers, but still didn’t work.

Your work around fixed the problem, so thanks a bunch!

Only thing, those meters were parented to another layer and now the precomp isn’t lining up correctly when the parented layer moves. Also the precomp needs to have “continuous rasterize” on and that seems to mess up it’s position when I turn that on and off.

But now I know, when in doubt, precomp.

Btw, I ended up just using some keyframes and a loop expression but would still like to know if this is possible. Thx!
