A question of looping :)

loop_out(“pingpong”,0)

Dan Uses the loop expression in his tut “Animating a Walk cycle”:

or click on Dans’ head and scrolldown thru his tuts.

Loops are explained in the first section. Download the project file, it comes with a loop comp named “intro” and shows examples of the various loops
and of loopy pitfalls to avoid.

i know about the pingpong expression……..

i’m trying to find out how to continually half the properties of each keyframe after each succesful “ping”.

so:

ping, pong/2, ping/2, pong/2, ping/2

where each successive ping & pong gets its value from the predecessing ping or pong.

but thanks anyways

That’s beyond my pay grade. Maybe someone else will come to the rescue.

I can’t see the original move file – no iTunes / QT7 on this machine (and it’s not installable on this platform).

But this is from the excellent Mr Ebbert’s website, and does decaying motion … https://www.motionscript.com/expressions-lab-ae65/pendulum.html

It stimulate a useful thought for you …
