This is so great. Some might say, "Why would I wanna do that if it's quicker with keyframes." but JUST you wait when a client wants all the fade-ins/outs updated and needs the new version by tomorrow morning. Looking forward to more videos!
Absolutely! My examples tend to be pretty simple for demo purposes, but for more complex stuff it can be very handy. Thanks for the awesome feedback Mario!
Holy crap this is amazing. The best thing about this tutorial is the way that you actually explain what each of the expression codes mean. I watched other videos and all they do is tell you to copy & paste a code. But you did it much better. Thank you!!!
is it possible to control the end of the animation in mogrt? For example - text appears by transparency and position. Disappears at 5 seconds. Can I bind to the keys and move them so that the text disappears 2 seconds sooner?
Good stuff. How do you set it up if there is more than two markers on a layer? Lets say the layer fades in and out five times? Does it require a loop and dynamically build the linear animation function?
Yes! Instead of using marker times, you can use layer.inPoint and layer.outPoint and calculate fade using those times. Just search it up and read the documentation on those expressions
This is great! Can you help with a slight mod for this? I need to link a TXT layer with a Checkbox Control so it can control via hold keyframe this property (Making the font ALL CAPS On/Off) // Enable All Caps with a Boolean style.setAllCaps(true) Thanks!
Nice dude. I guess it wouldn't be a huge leap to have the text update to what the current text of the marker is saying. That could be useful in a creative way.
Awesome expression! Thank you! How do you link the Y position to the self-position of this own layer? For example: Start +40 pixels IN on Y, and end -40 pixels OUT on Y?
Use the same technique, but you can access the y position property by referencing it as: position[1]. So do all the math and calculations with position[1] for y axis, then you'll probably need to combine the whole position together at the end. Position consists of x, y, z. If you want to keep x and z the same, and manipulate y only, do something like: [value[0], yourYVariable, value[2]]
So we define markerIn and markerOut as just points in time (based on our markers). If you dont want to use marker time and you want to define a specific frame, you can just set markerIn and markerOut to any time you want instead of marker time. It'll need to be in seconds, so you can convert your frame # to secs based on your comp frame rate. Link that to a slider.
@@CreativeDojo I asked this on community tab too and got this reply Items to be added to presets must be actually selected and that applies to markers as well.
@@liaquatali5206 this is literally the same question that brought me here. I'd like to make some animations with the animator and then save them, but can't seem to find a way to do it. It may be that they just wrote them by code.

This is awesome. So easy to understand and I just started to learn about expressions. Thanks a lot!
Thanks man! Great introduction to animating with markers ^^
Appreciate the awesome feedback :)

Such a very clear instructions for newbies! thank you very much sir.
Glad you found the video useful my friend!
YOU ARE THE GOAT! so much value man!!!

very helpful, thank you!
Thanks man, appreciate the awesome feedback!
awesome video! how would we go about adding ease in/outs with this method?
I have a question? Is there any expression to make a fade in/out animation based on when the layer starts and ends?
Yes! Instead of using marker times, you can use layer.inPoint and layer.outPoint and calculate fade using those times. Just search it up and read the documentation on those expressions
@@CreativeDojo THANKS! You're a life saver
Wuuuuuoooooooooww, pretty ways for animate everything bro!
...Great video like always :)
Haha appreciate it Manuel. Lots of methods, always good to know multiple ways to streamline something :D
Pretty impressive and easy to setup. I was always wondering about this so thank you for the tips.
Nice tip!
This is really awesome. Can you do the same with fill effect. Changing from one colour to the next between markers
really good explanation , wish u could do some more in an other video. Keep it up !
Thanks for the awesome feedback Joey, would love to hear any suggestions or requests!
@@CreativeDojo Any vids where u can explain "what does what" in an expression. Like you did there. Hope u understand, i'm not a native english speaker
ty for perfect lesson
Thanks for the awesome feedback!

Thanks!
Nice dude. I guess it wouldn't be a huge leap to have the text update to what the current text of the marker is saying. That could be useful in a creative way.
A lot of studios rig stuff like this up, so it's faster to change text. Would be simply to read the comment data into source text for sure :)
Awesome expression! Thank you!
How do you link the Y position to the self-position of this own layer?

Now I can throw away my copy of Animation Composer, Thanks!
hey man, how you would go about setting this expression's In/Out animation to a specific frame via slider control?
So we define markerIn and markerOut as just points in time (based on our markers). If you dont want to use marker time and you want to define a specific frame, you can just set markerIn and markerOut to any time you want instead of marker time. It'll need to be in seconds, so you can convert your frame # to secs based on your comp frame rate. Link that to a slider.
If we save it as a preset will we get markers, if we apply it to future/other projects. OR we have to add markers manually?
Unfortunately, I don't think AE presets save marker data, so you'd need to add the markers manually.
@@CreativeDojo but when we apply animation composer presets or other text presets from envato they do create layer markers. How?
