controlling time remap with an expression.
Hi,
I am trying to get a film to start at a random frame and then play through.
If I put a random script on the time remap, afx will generate a random frame on everey frame (not playing it through).I could do it maually, but it would be nice to duplicate the layer many times and have them all play from different frames.

Try to use the Time Displacement effect and randomize its Offset parameter. Use something like that:
seedRandom(index,true);
my_offset=Math.round(random(-100,100));[my_offset]
This way all you need to do is clone the layer without adjusting in and out points and it will still play differently for every clip.

hi Mylenium,
thanks for taking the time!I am not so great with scripting, but I tried to paste in your script and i get a 0 value for every frame, so: no movement.
I tried:
valueAtTime(time+random(1,2))
but again: different framenumber every time in no order.
I have moved the time remap values manually to get my effect and it is no big deal, but it would offcourse be nice to get to the bottom of how to do it with a script.

Try this expression for time remapping:
seedRandom(index,true);
time + random(outPoint)Dan

Thank you very much Dan!
It worked perfect, it even loops!Jakob
