Have a lil question here that I can't find the answer to. Ineed to link some keyframes positions (in the timeline) to some other keyframes position. I think I better explain this with a basic example.

Imagine:
Two text layers. One text layer has an animated glow and the other text layer has an animated fill. When I move the keyframe for the glow I want the keyframe for the fill to follow. So I need to link those two (and several others together).

Something like:

Code: Select all

effect("Glow")(4).key(1).time = effect("Fill")(3).key(2).time
Sounds correct in my head but does not work. So is there some way to do this?

You can't change the time of a keyframe with an expression. The best you could do is use valueAtTime() to reassign the fill values based on where the respective glow and fill keyframes are. Not too tough if all the keyframes are linear.
