PosterizeTime problem
Hello all
I am trying animate a quick thing and need to have to different assets move every 6 frames. Rather than use hold keyframes, I just used the posterizeTime expression. However I ran into a hitch, and was wondering if anyone can offer some help.
The two assets need to move in an offset manner. So for example, at frames 0, 6, 12, 18, 24, the first asset moves. At frames 3, 9, 15, 21, 27 the other asset moves. Im sure you get the picture. I used the posterizeTime(5) expression.
The problem is that they both move at the exact same time. Is there a way to delay one and have move 3 frames later?
Thanks

Hi John,
I think this cannot be done using posterizeTime. This does work:
fps=5;
phase=180;posTime =(Math.floor(time*fps+phase/360)-phase/360) /fps;
valueAtTime(posTime);
I hope the ‘phase’ metaphor speaks for itself.
This assumes that you’re just posterizing keyframes via value.
If you were posterizing an expression, it is probably based on time.
Just put this at the beginning and in the rest of the expression use posTime instead of time. -
Thanks so much, Im going to give this a try, Ill let you know how it comes out!
