Question

How can I create markers from keyframes?

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?

    Automation Blocks also has a tool to trigger animations at each marker:

    I knew i had it in an older version of after effects! I just found out that, the now dead site redifine made by one the Dev's on after effects team, had this entire set of tools called Rd scripts. In there there was a script called rd_markerkeys which would automatically create markers for every selected keyframe on a layer, you could choose to add markers to the top layer, the selected layer or a new null object layer. I found it in one of my old hard drives, and it works like a charm!

    Looks like Jeff Almasol closed down his site and moved some of the scripts to AEScripts

    I think he closed down a lot of the scripts as he didn't have time to support them, but glad this is working for you now.

      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 🙂
