loopOut() with custom frame hold?
Hey guys
Not sure if this is possible… but I have a precomp 5 frames long. In it 5 Images, each a frame.
I would like to time remap that precomp and add a loopOut() expression, but with an additional variable “frameHold” (could be linked to a slider but not essential) to adjust the time it holds on each frame.
e.g:
if “frameHold” was set to 1, each frame duration would be 1 frame – img1 is on frame 0, img2 is on frame 1, img3 is on frame 2 etc…
if “frameHold” was set to 2, each frame duration would last 2 frames – img1 is on frames 0-1, img2 is on frames 2-3, img3 is on frames 4-5 etc…
if “frameHold” was set to 5, each frame duration would last 5 frames – img 1 is on frames 0-4, img2 is on frames 5-9, img3 is on frames 10-14Hopefully that makes sense! It’s like a combination of loopOut() and the posterise Time effect….
Any help much appreciated

Try this:
frameHold = 2;
numImages = 5;
f = Math.floor(timeToFrames(time)/frameHold)%numImages;
framesToTime(f)Dan

Dan! Amazing!
This is working great! and if I change:
numImages = 5;to
numImages = thisLayer.source.numLayers;Then I don’t need to update every time I add a new image in.
Thanks for the speedy reply!
