    Hi All,

    I’m working on a cartoon compositing job where i’m given a bunch of SWF files to composite on top of a PSD BG and then add camera moves using a Null object.

    The camera move request is for moves to be on 2’s, or, 12fps in a 24fps comp. The problem i’m experiencing is that the posterize time effect / expression sets the cam to move on even frames, when my animated SWF files are animated on odds. This causes strobing, when my cam and animation layers are not moving on the same frames as each other.

    Are there any methods for customizing a posterize time effect to achieve what I need?

    Cheers

    Can you not offset your SWF layers by one frame?

    Unfortunately not. Their project layout requests for delivery are very specific

    Then I don’t understand what the issue is.
