[Filip Vandueren] “the width=.5 means the change is smoothed out over half a second.”
Thanks. What does the other parts of the expression mean?

December 1, 2006 at 8:20 pmHi Aharon,
smooth is a ‘box filter’ or an averager if you will
the parameters are:
smooth(width=.5, samples=25, t=time);
width= how wide around the current time should smooth look at values to calculate an average.
samples= how many samples are taking within the width-timeframe (I allways pick a high enough value so I don’t have to constantly alter it when I tweak the width)
t=time at which we’re calculating, like a few other methods, smooth can work independent of the current time, you won’t need this often (hence t=time), or you can leave it out: it will default to the current time.
if you have fewer samples than the framerate (for example smooth(0.5, 8) you may still get some jerky motion, be sure to check the motion- and speedgraphs to see the result the expression has and you’ll see what I mean.
greetings from Filip & Marijke

Probably trivial thing, but I haven -
