I already have a layer with multiple keyframes, i want to set markers on it to trigger a seperate animation at each keyframe.

Since the keyframes are already there, i just need to add markers, how can go about doing this?

But in this I will have to manually create the markers at every keyframe, i think. I mainly wanted to have it so that at the click of a button, or the running of a script or expression, a marker gets added to each and every keyframe of the layer with the multiple keyframes. These keyframes are basically points at which i want a second animation to repeat.

ok so for my purpose this worked, since i had only one animation that i needed triggered at every keyframe. for that i found a basic expression that would trigger the keyframes at a marker, which it found using L.marker.numkeys that would reference the number of markers on a given layer defined by L and similar commands. I just deleted marker, and let it be numkeys only, and for the layer i pick wipped the property that had the keys on it. And it now works exactly as I expected it 🙂
