Re: text animator triggered by comp marker

I'm not sure if this is what you're after, but it might get you headed in the right direction. Set your Scale Animator amount to 0% and apply this expression:


m = thisComp.marker;
n = 0;
if (m.numKeys > 0){
n = m.nearestKey(time).index;
if (m.key(n).time > time) n--;
}
if (n > 0){
t = time - m.key(n).time;
startVal = 0;
endVal = 100;
dur = 0.1;
if (t < dur){
s = linear(t,0,dur,startVal,endVal)
}else{
amp = (endVal - startVal)/dur;
freq = 3;
decay = 5;
w = freq*Math.PI*2;
s = endVal + amp*Math.sin((t-dur)*w)/Math.exp(decay*(t-dur))/w
}
[s,s]
}else
value
