Thanks a lot 🙂

Now I can go to sleep finally and peacefully :))

Hi Dan,

It’s my first time posting here on this forum, kind of excited and hope I can make it work 🙂

Apparently this subject (Start/Stop Expression at Specific Time) has been out here for a long time, and even though I think I thoroughly looked into it, somehow I couldn’t make the code work for me 🙁

Basically, I wanted my expression to start at a certain frame but as I just mentioned I couldn’t figure out what I’m doing wrong after I spent 3 hours and gave up at this point!

I have a composition with 12fps and I have my TEXT layer, which I applied the expression on ‘the expressions code box’ below to its POSITION parameter, hoping that it would move on x-axis, however it doesn’t do anything at all!

But when I just use this code below:

freq = 15;
amplitude = 100;
decay = 3;

x = amplitude*Math.cos(freq*time*2*Math.PI)/Math.exp(decay*time);
position + [x,0];

Then it works but it starts moving at the beginning of my composition, not on the frame I want it to.

I tried everything that has been mentioned on this thread ( interestingly some scripts don’t even work at all for me) and I did search on Adobe’s forum as well, which I’ll post there as well in a second 🙂

So what am I doing wrong ?

How am I going to make my expression work and move the TEXT layer as it is supposed to on that specific frame I would like to ?

Any kind of answer/help/explanation will be greatly appreciated 🙂

Have a great day!

cheers,

Sefik

beginTime = 40;
if (time > beginTime) {

freq = 15;
amplitude = 100;
decay = 3;

x = amplitude*Math.cos(freq*time*2*Math.PI)/Math.exp(decay*time);
position + [x,0];

} else {
0
}
