  • Adjusting timing? Newbie question…

    Posted by Jenny Conway on August 1, 2006 at 8:39 pm

    Hi,

    I can’t find anything about this in the archive: I created a transition with 2 different emitters that I rendered and brought into AE. I found that the transition was too slow, so I am trying to globally change the time on the keyframed properties on one emitter and then on the other (slightly different time parameters for the other). So I have two questions: 1) is it possible to time-stretch the keyframes globally reather than choosing each one and adjusting and 2) can I view all my affected keyframes at the same time (rather than each property at a time? I know this would be the AE way to do it, but I’m tackling how to do it in PI).

    Trying to wrap my head around it– thanks for your help!

    I’ve had to do this before, and depending on the emitter, it can be a pain. You have to find the properties that are animated, then r-click in the graph window and scale the x-values using “scale”. Do this for each animated emitter and particle type property. This can be a lot of work depending on the emitter.

    Believe me, a way to adjust the global timing of an emitter is on the feature list for 3.5.

    Thanks for the information. I believe I tried the x-scale, but I thought it affected a physical scaling and not the timing. I’ll try it again the way you described it.

    I’ll definitely look forward to that feature in the upgrade but, in the meantime, what a beautiful application it is!
