    Hi everyone –

    I’m hoping with all of the great people on this forum that I might find an answer.

    I’m working with R13. I’m trying to use xpresso to control the repetitions of my track after function.

    Is this possible? I tried dragging the animation track into the xpresso window, but that isn’t working.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks so much for your time!

    Patricia

    I don’t think so but maybe it’s controllable some other way, what are you trying to do?

    Hi Brian –

    Thanks for the response…

    I’d like to take the max number of frames from the project and use it to calculate and drive the number of repetitions for my track after. So if I increase the number of frames in my project, it automatically increases the number of repetitions. I know I could just dial up the number of repteitions, but I thought it would be interesting to do it automatically with xpresso.

    Thoughts?

    Thanks!

    there’s nothing I know that can that can increase Repetitions, it’s not keyframeable. I’d just set them real high to start with so you never have to think of it

    Thanks Brian. I appreciate your time.

    I just thought it would be nice to handle it automatically, but manual will continue to work.

    Thanks again!
