posterizeTime expression errors…
Everytime I try to use the posterizeTime function in an expression (AE6.5pro on the Mac) returns the “After Effects warning: Function posterizeTime is undifined…” dialog box.
And even if I do define a value for it, it still doesn’t do as it’s supposed to and pops up the known dialog box.
I’m trying to set an effect parameter to change it’s value at, lets say, 8 fps like this:
posterizeTime(8);
effect(“Roughen Edges”)(8).wiggle(12,random(50,50))any comments on how to get this posterizeTime thingy to do it’s job?
Cheers, Lars

Your expression works fine for me. Are you sure you’re running 6.5?

yep 😉 6.5.0.97 Pro to be exact.
Thanx for the relpy maestro! I’ve been scratching myself behind the ears for a day or two, glad to read that my notation is ‘correct’ though. Now I’ll have to think of other things that could be incorrect.
Any encounters with these kind of bugs before?

Here’s something foggy…
This here nice quad core g5 doesn’t do the trick, but an old g4 powerbook does. Whats wrong? G5? Multicore?
Parameters that might be of use: OS version (quad G5 10.4.8 / PB G4 10.4.7) similar AE versions. (different installation with different plugins, but not significant to this here test)
I’m checking this on a Windows version somewehere else, I’ll be reporting back later.
Hope someone knows something about this bugg 😉
Cheers, Lars

A dualcore AMD processor does the job perfectly to.
It seems lik al time related functions are suffering from this bug on a Quad G5 and nowere else.
Anyone suggestions for a workaround?

I haven’t tried this so I’m just thinking out loud…
Does your keyboard layout effect whether AE expects “posterize” or “posterise”?

i’ve been testing identical copies of the quad G5 project on different systems. This to be sure there are no other factors implicating the results. So typing erros are of no issue here. The syntax is identical and it works on all computers except the Quad G5.
Real good thinking though! I’ve been over and over this and posted a copy paste here to be sure it wasn’t the syntax. My dyslectia issues are absolutely complicating writing syntax.
Cheers,
Lars
