posterize time like effect
I’m trying to come up with a way to “speed up” the frame rate of footage but not in the conventional way.
I’d like a set up where the first frame is held for the first two seconds, then it advances to the 61st frame for one second. Then it advances to frame 91 for half a second. Then frame 106 for quarter of a second. Then frame 113 for eight of a second and so on until the footage will be displaying every frame. For the sake of easy math I used numbers that would represent a straight line.
I’d actually like to control the rate at which the frames advance by a curve of some sort so that it’ll hold a frame 2 seconds, advance to the 61st frame for 1.8 seconds, advance to the next frame for 1.3 seconds, next frame for .5 seconds, next frame for .05 seconds and so on. (I think those numbers make an alright curve)
Does that make sense?
The next thing that needs to be added to this a counter starting with 0 and adding 1000 everytime the frame switches.
I did come up with a way to do both of these things but the math was fuzzy and the counter didn’t match up exactly with the changing of frames. It worked alright but I’m hoping there’s a more powerful and accurate way to do this.

Not in the least.
Hold keyframes. Easy.[tyler paul] The next thing that needs to be added to this a counter starting with 0 and adding 1000 everytime the frame switches.
“An expression can be created that does this for you but you have to be able to tell it to read the footage’s keyframes. Not something I’d attempt but the expressions wonks can probably whip one out for you.
You haven’t said how many of these freezes there are going to beso it could be as easy as moving from one keyframe in the timing track to the next.bogiesan
This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

I meant to post in the expression area in the first place and but accidently posted here. I failed…. twice.
I could have manually laid down hold keyframes but I wanted the frames to proceed at an exponential rate that I could easily adjust.
I found a very simple solution and replied to my post in the expression forum.
Thanks for the replay
