    I try to make progress bar. I made first solid and animate scale[0] from 0 to 100 in 10 seconds. Now I want that values dont go all from 0 to 100 but let say value changes only every 1 second so from smoothe animation to coarse like slow computers progress bar.

    You can use an expression like this with your keyframes:

    posterizeTime(1);
    value

    Or one like this to do the whole thing (without keyframes):

    posterizeTime(1);
    linear(time,0,10,[0,100],[100,100])

    For twice a second it would be:

    posterizeTime(2);
    linear(time,0,10,[0,100],[100,100])

    For once every two seconds it would be:

    posterizeTime(.5);
    linear(time,0,10,[0,100],[100,100])
