Possible to code around markers placed on layer when placed as Motion Graphics?
I'm trying to create a lap timer in After effects that will show the current lap time, the best lap time prior to the current time in the video, and the last lap time current to the prior time.
I'd like to do all of this via markers on the placed graphic in premiere.
-Current time will be calculated based on the time difference from the current place in the animation and the previous marker.
-Last time will calculate the gap between the two previous markers.
-Best time will calculate the least amount of time between two markers, of all marker sets prior to the current marker.
I've been fooling around with expressions, since that seems to be how Adobe lets you code things, and thisLayer.marker does not seem to allow me to access markers on the placed layer. I've also tried thisProject.marker.numKeys (undefined) and thisComp.
Is this even possible? It would make my life really easy for determining lap times as I can just drag in the graphic in Premier, throw in a bunch of markers, and it'll automatically do all the timing for me and save me from having to edit anything manually.
