Position Keyframe expressions for Essentials Graphics

[andrews20644770]

Ask: Could someone provide me with an expression to attach the Y-position to a slider for only that key frame, so it can be modified in Premiere essentials graphics?

I'm making a credits graphic template.

• it starts with a few title cards (individual layers)
• Then there's rolling credits (one layer key framed on the y position)
• And finishes with a couple more title cards (individual layers)
  (no precomps)

This is to play at a set duration of 45 seconds

4 title cards @ 1.5 sec/card = 6 seconds

rolling credits = 36 seconds

2 title cards @ 1.5 sec/card = 3 seconds

My issue is that, since the source text of the rolling layer is editable, the length/height of that layer will grow if additional names are added or subtracted from the credits for future episodes. Since the duration cannot change, I want to be able to edit the Y-position of my ending keyframe so that the credits roll completely off the screen regardless of length/height.

-I'm aware that Position is only editable in Essential Graphics if you create a null with a slider.

-I only want to edit the Y-position of that ending keyframe.

Ask: Could someone provide me with an expression to attach the Y-position to a slider for only that keyframe, so it can be modified in Premiere essentials graphics?

Please and thank you!!

That would be something as valueAtTime(key(1).time)+value. The actual value would have to be calculated with some string processing and multiplying the line count by the line height. Try a search. This request comes up with auto-resizing text boxes a lot and there should be some usable code examples.
