Frame by frame effect (plugin or expression?)
Dear all,
I am trying to reproduce this effect (https://www.facebook.com/clive.hicksjenkins/videos/10156370564303198/) in an animation trying to manipulate the position and skipping some frame with the following expression (thanks to Dan Ebberts!):
// Skipping frame
n = 2; // skip every nth frameframeToSkip = 0; // 0,1,2 ...n-1
currFrame = Math.round(time/thisComp.frameDuration);
currFrame += Math.floor((currFrame - frameToSkip)/(n-1)) + 1;
framesToTime(currFrame);//change the update of the position
rate = 5;
//add some randomenss
prob = 50;
if(random(0, 100) < prob) {
rate = rate + random(0.05);
}
t = framesToTime(Math.floor(timeToFrames()/rate)*rate);
valueAtTime(t);The problem is that I have to apply the second expression in each moving elements and sometimes the animation is “not really controllable”.
Does exist a better a method (or maybe a plugin) in order to achieve this kind of effects? A sort of master effect that can be applied for all animation?Thanks!

Oh wow. Ya, what Dave said. No need to “Tex Avery” something like that certainly.
Bur if you’re looking for something more along stop motion lines, you might look at this though. Goes back aways but still works effectively.
