Select Shape Frame?
Is it possible in PI3, where a multi-frame shape is loaded, to only display a single frame from it?
I have a PNG sequence consisting of 3 words, and I want to create 3 emitters, each of which shows a different frame.
I thought that the little buttons (highlighted) would do this, when anim speed is set to off, but I can only display the first frame.
I want to have 3 emitters visible, one showing word 1, another showing word 2, another showing word 3, and it would be nice to only create one emitter, and then alter the displayed frame to show whichever word I want to.
What are these little buttons for anyway? Is it in the manual? (without searching through all the tutorials).
Thanks

Depending on what you want I have some suggestions:
You can have one emitter giving you particles that show either one of the words fulltime by setting the speed to OFF and check the RANDOM START FRAME
Or you can make one emitter, place it three times on the stage and simply replace the particle in each emitter with the word you like to have (instead of importing a multiframe particle).

Thanks … the Random Start Frame won’t work for me, because I want to choose which word appears in each screen location.
I think I will have to create three emitters, which I was hoping to avoid because it means editing 3 lots of parameters if I want to make a change.
Thanks

I think you can do it with only one emitter with the first word. Give it all the settings you need. Place it three times on the stage and then replace only the word for the other two words. Thats all…
