    Hi,

    I’m using the numbers effect to generate an avi for a list of numbers from 1 to 80, problem is i need each number to display for 9 frames? Could anyone explain how to do this with an expression and a brief explanation?

    I’m using it as a texture in a 3d animation, i did one by hand but now my client wants to change the font!

    Thanks in advance.

    SJJ

    This should work:

    f = timeToFrames(time-inPoint);
    n = Math.floor(f/9) + 1;
    Math.min(n,80)

    You only need the last line if you need to make sure it stops at 80.
