Thanks a lot Dan it helped. Although my expression knowledge is not good enough to understand how exactly is the expression working. I understood the Calculus bit.

I have this layer which has its rotation property linked with the time. e.g (time*200)
I want the object to gradually stop rotating at nth second with full control. Is there any way to do it? I know controlling rotation is tricky. I had seen an expression a couple of years ago which could do that. but, I’m not able to find it anywhere now.

any help…

Of course, It had to be this. Thanks a lot. I used a similar statement on another property and don’t know how I missed it here. Damn it.

Thanks a lot man, you saved me. I was cursing after effects thinking it is some sort of bug. hehe

Sorry, Here’s the expression. I had pasted it earlier but somehow I messed up I guess.

//variables
driver=effect(“Animation”)(“Slider”).value;
Switch=effect(“Double_Head”)(“Checkbox”).value;
Single = linear(driver,0,100,0,100);
Double = linear(driver,0,100,50,100);

//condition
Switch = 1? Double : Single

I’m trying to map the value with a slider between 0 to 100 or 50 to 100 depending on the given condition of if the checkbox is On or Off. But, My “if statement” is only resulting in the checkbox being turned on.
In my case, it’s only resulting in “Double”

I’d really appreciate any sort of help. Thanks

It doesn’t matter what’s the value of my end or starting point is. It always glitches at the very beginning and end. It’s more like if the position velocity is more than 0 it will Auto orient it otherwise it won’t.

I want an arrowhead to follow a path. For which I am using this expression on its position property.
t=thisComp.layer(index+1).content(“Path”).content(“Path 1”).path;
l=thisComp.layer(index+1).content(“Path”).content(“Trim Paths 1”).end;

t.pointOnPath(percentage = l/100, t = time)

Everything is working fine except the auto-Orient. As soon as the…

I did think of it but it will not give me the smooth transition I want. Anyway, I managed to do that by extending the path and then applied trim path. Now all I had to do was animate the offset and the position at the same time.

Thaks for suggestion though

create a 3d layer or a camera layer. It will pop back up

Hey guys,
I’m trying to bend a shape layer in an inverted U shape. I’m using CC bend it for this. But, It automatically crops the layer below starting point after bending.
I already tried Grow Bounds and also tried Pre-composing the layer. I am animating the bend so I can’t just mirror the layer either. Please help

Thanks in advance
