Remap keyframe timing with slider

[sahils98]

I'm trying to make an Essential Graphics preset for some editors I work with. They have requested control over how long the animation lasts. So I have a text animation where the range is animated with 2 keyframes. I want to control the timeline position of each keyframe independently using sliders. Is there an expression for this?

Something like this, probably:

t1Start = effect("Slider Control")("Slider");

t1End = effect("Slider Control 2")("Slider");

t2Start = key(1).time;

t2End = key(2).time;

t = linear(time,t1Start,t1End,t2Start,t2End);

valueAtTime(t);

Thanks, That did the trick

Thanks so much for this, Dan.

Hi Dan, would this be possible with 4 keyframes?

I have an animated precomp with an "animate-in" range (first two keyframes) and an "animate-out" range (3rd and 4th keyframes).

Ideally, I'd be able to control the second keyframe and the third keyframe so I can extend or compress the animation

Try this:

t2 = effect("Slider Control")("Slider");
t3 = effect("Slider Control 2")("Slider");
if (time < t2){
  t = linear(time,key(1).time,t2,key(1).time,key(2).time);
}else if (time < t3){
  t = linear(time,t2,t3,key(2).time,key(3).time);
}else{
  t = linear(time,t3,key(4).time,key(3).time,key(4).time);
}
valueAtTime(t)

Is there a way to make this work in Premiere in the Essential Graphics section?
My animation just ignores the sliders.

Nevermind, it worked after changing Premiere to english.

Hey @rheinklangmedia - any chance you'd be willing to share the mogrt you have working in premiere? I'm really more of a tinkerer so I think I need to get my hands on a working example to make it work for my own context. If anyone is curious I'm trying to create a dynamic-caption-generator mogrt that allows for timing the specific words with a slider.
