After effects bounce Expression

[OlArEsCh]

Hi there, I have a Problem with the bounce expression. I added it to a PNG in order to make it look like a Pop-Up notification and I want the animation to go backwards so that the Object goes out of the scene the same way it came in, I've tried duplicating the layer and then right-click on this new layer and select "Time" and then click on the option of reversing time but when I play the animation it just won't play backwards, it'll just start teleporting weirdly. I just want to know if you can reverse an expression and how to do it. I'd really appreciate the help 😉

You reverse the keyframes, not the expression time. You have a misunderstanding here. As far as time goes, simply reversing a layer still makes it evaluate forward. You would have to take care of it in the code. Again, not your problem here, you need to fix the keyframe timing.

Yes! Thank you, I think I had misunderstood how expressions worked. Once I fixed the key frames, everything started to make sense! 🙂

Or pre-compose, then reverse the layer

I did pre-compose the layer before reversing it, but it still glitched weirdly, sorry I forgot to mention that before. I appreciate the help enormously! Thanks! 🙂
