End Roller Timings

[mart1jn]

This expression on the position will move the layer vertically 100 pixels per second. You can change the first variable for other speeds.

pps = 100;
[transform.position[0],transform.position[1]+time*pps]

Thanks for that mart1jn

I'll give that a go, though, I found this great expresssion on the Creative Cow site which animates the roller for you perfectly and as such the roller is complete and signed off...

d = -2; // positive values will move up, negative values down
y = value[1] + ((time * (1 / thisComp.frameDuration)) * d);
[value[0], y]

It turns out that as After Effects works on a sub-pixel level, even when rendering at an even amount of pixels per second, this was not enough to prevent strobing / alias probs.

I think I should stick to just creating titles!! Luckily the next job is only HD so watch those renders fly by :bounce:
