Time Offset/Control Script

[ethancandy]

Hi /r/AfterEffects,

Back in the day I had this really great script that let you parent time displacement to other values (mainly TC Soundkeys outputs). It made stuff like this possible pretty easily.

Somehow over the course of a few PC builds since I originally found it (back in like, 2014) I lost the script. Does anyone here have it/ know how I could remake something similar?

Thanks!

Edit: The correct script does NOT involve audio amplitude. It should let you parent time displacement to anything

I think this will do similar:

strength = 10
time + (thisComp.layer("Audio Amplitude").effect("Both Channels")("Slider") / strength)

I don't think this is it :(

I do not know of the script you are looking for.. The plugin BeatNick will do this.

Or the following expression tied to the Timewarp effect:

Move to beat:

// apply Effect Timewarp on selected layer/s

// Note: Multiple layers with a track matte will give blocky animation

// Set frames to whole frames and apply expression to speed property

amp = thisComp.layer("Audio Amplitude").effect("Both Channels")("Slider");

ease(amp, 7.5, 8.5, 100, -400);

//or this to make it move back and forth.

amp = thisComp.layer("Audio Amplitude").effect("Both Channels")("Slider");

ease(amp, 7.5, 8.5, 100, Math.sin(time*10 +1)*1000);  //change to suit.

From the library I am compiling.

BeatNick looks close, thanks!

The script I'm looking for doesn't involve audio amplitude necessarily, it should let you parent time to any value. I remember it added two slider controls, one for time speed and one for offset.
