Random Hold Times between Each Loop
I’ve looked all over for a similar solution, but I’m not sure if I’ve found one.
Say I have animated a layer’s position with two keyframes. I want the animation to loop endlessly, however, I want the start time of each loop to be randomized. Or, rather, a randomized hold before each next loop. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,
Jim

I think this works:
if (numKeys > 1){
minDelay = 1;
maxDelay = 4;
t1 = key(1).time;
t2 = key(numKeys).time;
if (time > t2){
acc = t2;
i = 1;
while (acc <= time){
seedRandom(i,true);
delay = random(minDelay,maxDelay);
prev = acc;
acc += delay + (t2 - t1);
i++;
}
if (time < prev + delay)
valueAtTime(t2)
else
valueAtTime(t1 + time - (prev + delay));
}else
value;
}else
value

Oh wow. Awesome. I was worried the only solution was the time-based problem kind. Thanks!

Hi,
Sorry to dig but would it be possible with a pingpong loop?
Thanks,
Benoît.
