  Image Sequence frame based on Trace Null position?

  Posted by Josh Penn on June 4, 2024 at 10:06 pm

  Hello!

  I have an image sequence that I’ve imported of a 360 spin cycle – where frame 0 = 0° / frame 360 = 360°.

  I’ve then added time remapping to this comp so I can change the angle/view of the 360 spin/rotation.

  Is there a way for me to have the value/angle of the time remapping frame picked depending on the direction it’s facing if I pair this to a Trace Path null position?

  If you used the Trace Path action on the Create Nulls From Paths script, the Rotation property of the Null probably has the info you need. You’d end up with something similar to this:

  angle = thisComp.layer("Null 1").transform.rotation + 180;
  framesToTime(angle)
