Help with expression

#1

I’m trying to link a control from another layer, in this case a number derived from the Trapcode Sound Keys effect to a particular frame of another layer. Basically, I have a stop motion animation that I want to scrub in time with a sound file.

So, I’m looking for the corect expression to plug into the animation to match it to the control

basically if i had a slider from 1-10 and an animation with 10 frames, what expression would I plug in to say when slider is on “2” go to frame 2?

or any good expression list as well. I’ve, of course, searched the help and found either “here’s an easy example” or the opposite of “here’s a ton of confusing info about how expressions are based on java”. Is there just a good list of expressions and what they do?

Thanks for any help in advance!

Apparently, I was over-thinking this one. I just precomped the animation, put a freeze frame on the precomp and then pickwhiped the resulting time remap key to the slider that I want to control the animation.

easy.
