Animation on the marker? How it’s even possible? As always, it’s possible with lovely expressions. Just use this expression:

n = marker.nearestKey(time).index; 
 if(time < marker.key(n).time){
  n=n-1;
 }
 if(n==0){
  n=1
 }
 t=time-marker.key(n).time;
 thisProperty.valueAtTime(t)

We’re excited to see how you can use it. Enjoy!
