  seedRandom on time remap

  Posted by Samuli Alapuranen on October 3, 2016 at 8:55 am

  I’m trying to randomize the time remapping of a 10 frames long layer with the following expression. The result of the expression is *always* 10 instead of random number between 0 and 9. What am I missing here?
  seedRandom(index,true);
random(0,9);


  I tested changing the random numbers and the following expression seems to give me the result I’m looking for, however I have no idea why:
  seedRandom(index,true);
random(0,0.5);

  Time remapping expects a value in seconds, not frames. So this should work:

  seedRandom(index,true);
  framesToTime(Math.floor(random(10)));
