I'm trying to be able to control when a pre-comp starts playing with a layer marker, but so far I can only get it to go to the start frame and then immediately go back to the default.

How can i get it so a marker "hits play" for a layer and then the layer's time just keeps going?

This expression (applied to the time remap property) will make the time remap value start to increase from the layer's first marker:

Code: Select all

firstMarkTime = thisLayer.marker.key(1).time;
if (time >= firstMarkTime) {
	time - firstMarkTime;
} else {
0;
}

Thanks, I was able to figure it out once I thought backwards about it.

boobies = marker.key(1).time;
temp_Remap = time;
if (time < marker.key(1).time)
{temp_Remap = 0};
else
{temp_Remap = time-boobies};
temp_Remap

like my variable name?

Be sure to check out Marker Remap ( http://aescripts.com/marker... ) which builds an After Effects panel around split layer markers and has the additional bonus of a robust marker management panel. Gives AE CC 2019's new Responsive Design features a run for it's money!
