Random Jump Cuts based on time markers
Hello
I’m trying to edit this expression:segDur = .5;// duration of each “segment” of random time
minVal = inPoint;
maxVal = outPoint – segDur;seed = Math.floor(time/segDur);
segStart = seed*segDur;
seedRandom(seed,true);
startVal = random(minVal,maxVal);
endVal = startVal + segDur;
linear(time,segStart,segStart + segDur, startVal, endVal);To make the jump cuts start and end based on time markers, but with no luck 🙁
Anyone has suggestions?
Many thanks in advancesegDur = .5;// duration of each "segment" of random time
minVal = inPoint;
maxVal = outPoint - segDur;seed = Math.floor(time/segDur);
segStart = seed*segDur;
seedRandom(seed,true);
startVal = random(minVal,maxVal);
endVal = startVal + segDur;
linear(time,segStart,segStart + segDur, startVal, endVal); -

I guess it would be something like this:
minVal = inPoint;
maxVal = outPoint;
n = 0;
if (marker.numKeys > 0){
n = marker.nearestKey(time).index;
if (marker.key(n).time > time) n--;
}
if (n > 0){
t = time - marker.key(n).time;
seedRandom(n,true);
base = random(minVal,maxVal);
base + t;
}else
value
but you’ll probably want to adjust maxVal so it never runs off the end of the clip.

That’s exactly what I was looking for!
Thank you so much!!! -
hi!
I’ve been trying to adapt it to make the jump go to the frame number on each marker’s comment instead of random (so if the marker comment says 17, it jumps to frame 17, etc), but no luck at all
Any ideas? Thanks! -
Try this:
n = 0;
if (marker.numKeys > 0){
n = marker.nearestKey(time).index;
if (marker.key(n).time > time) n--;
}
if (n > 0){
time - marker.key(n).time + framesToTime(parseInt(marker.key(n).comment,10));
}else
0
