  Frame Number Speed Up

  Posted by Pat Bray on November 4, 2008 at 3:16 pm

  Hi

  I’ve used the frame number expression and was wondering if there was a way of speeding it up so its perhaps, 3 times faster?

  It may actually be more productive if you posted the Expression here.

  Sorry, the expression I’ve added to the source text is:

  timeToFrames()

  I thought that if I somehow added a multiplier to it, it would speed up the counter….?

  Hehe. I can’t help out with the Expression but you should be able to TimeRemap the bugger. Also, setting your fps to a higher rate may help.

  if you wanted to do it with an expression, you were correct, you would just add a multiplier… 3 times faster, just multiply by 3:

  timeToFrames()*3

  Hi

  How would I edit the expression to make the numbers begin and end at certain values?

  e.g. i’d like the expression to start with the numbers ‘800’ and finish at ‘999’.

  Thanks
