Key

thisProperty.key(1)

When you access a Key object, you can get time, index, and value properties from it.

Tip

In expressions, "Key" refers to Keyframes.

Info

On this page, we're going to use thisProperty.key(1) as a sample on how to call these items, however note that any method that returns a Key will work.

Example

The following expression, when written on an Opacity property with keyframes, ignores the keyframe values and uses only the placement of the keyframes in time to determine where a flash should occur:

const d = Math.abs(time - nearestKey(time).time);
easeOut(d, 0, .1, 100, 0)

The following expression gives you the value of the third Position keyframe:

position.key(3).value;
