Opacity semi-random issue
I have a displacement map I would like to flicker on and off randomly, however I would like it to be off more that on and only be on a few times rather than a majority.
Here’s what I came up with :
random(0,100);
if (thisComp.layer(“displace”).transform.opacity < 90) 0 else 100;It doesnt seem to randomize once I put all of this in…. any help would be appreciated. Also if there is a way that when it does switch “on” it stays on for maybe 10 frames I’d appreciate a hint on that! Thanks in advance for any help!
random(0,100);
if (thisComp.layer("displace").transform.opacity < 90) 0 else 100;

you’re close… you just need to assign the random value to a variable and compare that variable to 90 to set the opacity….
r = random( 0, 100 ) ;
if ( r < 90 ) 0 else 100 ;note, if the less than sign gets replaced with < manually replace it with the symbol.

Thanks! Seems to be working!

This is kind of primative but below is what I’m trying to do but just unable to articulate. Any clue?
r = random( 0, 100 ) ;
if ( r < 90 ) 0 else 100 ;
if (r = 100) (r = 100 for 8 frames) -
you could try using posterizeTime() to have a new random value generated every 8 frames (instead of every frame):
hold = 8 ; // value in frames
fps = 1 / thisComp.frameDuration / hold ;
posterizeTime( fps ) ;
r = random( 0, 100 ) ;
if ( r < 90 ) 0 else 100 ;Kevin Camp
