Subject: Find Z position on timeline

Okay, no luck hunting around. I have yet another comp for film with zoom from center of Milky Way, 6 minutes long with z values set in stone with start and end keyframes only, z values are massive (quadrillions) to preserve relative differences with things like Earth and moon.

 

The background layers of the Milky Way have been done for some time, locked and pre-rendered. Now I need to place objects like nebula, planets etc. I have spreadsheet that gives me the correct AE z value but I have to find it on the timelines and stepping through 1 frame at a time is tedious. I need to “search” for that z value and have timeline cursor go spot on timelines with that z value.

 

Please tell me this script exists.

 

best,

Stephen

A film is – or should be – more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what’s behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.

–Stanley Kubrick
