How can I create markers from keyframes?

[visualhippocracy]

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?

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 🙂

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

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.

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.

Yes, he did. However, since i hoard data, i had the antire rd_scripts collection backed up on an old hard drive. His script still works perfectly !
