Re: Trigger Mr. Ebbert's Squash and Stretch?

Here is an expression for having a marker trigger Dan's squish and squash. Put the expression on Scale. (Copy the expression, Alt-Click the Scale stopwatch, Paste):

n = 0;
if (marker.numKeys > 0){
n = marker.nearestKey(time).index;
if (marker.key(n).time > time){
n--;
}
}

if (n == 0){
value;
}else{
max_dev=20; // max deviation in pixels
spd=35; //speed of oscillation
decay=10; //how fast it slows down
t = time - marker.key(n).time;
s = max_dev*Math.sin(spd*(t))/Math.exp(decay*t);
value + [s,s];
}

So wherever you place a marker you'll get the old squish and squash. Hit the asterisk (*) key on the numeric pad to drop a marker wherever you are on the timeline.

There are other ways to trigger expressions, but this is easy and very flexible.

Note: No marker, no squish and squash. Five markers give five squish and squashes.

Also if you're talking a diferent expression, just drop that in below the }else{.
