perfect.
thanks!

thanks for your help,
that helped, but it isn’t quite what im after

perhaps if i explain what i’m doing..

i want to have a series of graphical “reticals” in the HUD of a spaceship that act as guides as it lands; the camera passes through them one after the other in 3d space. i want each one to display a number that represents the distance from the space ship (the camera) to that point in space, hitting 0 at the moment that the camera ocupies the same coordinates. (nerdy i know)

so ideally i need to calculate a value representing the distance between the points irrespective of what axes that distance lies in.

is this rediculously complicated?

any help will be appreciated, thanks

so it is
sorry, not quite sure how i missed that

[Alex Harding]

PS
i dont mean retime it to 24 fps, as will happen if you stick it in a 24fps timeline.

i want it to play every frame in order, and therefore discard the timecode

[Alex Harding]

sorry, i already have the matte made, the problem im having is that the matte doesn’t seem to make any diference to the timewarp effect, regardless of the “matte layer” settings

[Alex Harding]

all footage is stored on a remote server, regardless of what is accessing it.
cheers,

well.

time stretch doesn’t do motion analysis and uses inferior frame blending. i wouldn’t need to use after fx at all for this if frame blending was sufficient.

of course, you already knew this because you have read the “freakin manual”

[Alex Harding]

that did it
