170 has more versatility in terms of over cranking and under cranking. The 150 does not let you shoot either. This is a big deal if you plan on doing slow motion or time lapse.

Just want to say you can shoot 720/60p on the HMC-150, so if your delivery is 24p then yes, you can overcrank.

It doesn’t do timelapse. But with a 16 or 32GB card you can record for, what is it, 5-8 hours?.

That will work, but for future reference there is a ‘value’ parameter that you can just keyframe with the numbers you want.

Also, I usually just apply the Numbers effect to a standard layer, so then I can move it up and down properly. I don’t see why you would do an adjustment layer.

Glad you have it working though. 🙂

David, manually separating them into layers doesn’t help. You’ll just end up with each ‘clip’ on it’s own layer with no lead-room or end-room. For any transition you need some extra time for the transition to take place, but Premiere is exporting it without any leadroom.

Just moving the clips earlier is no good because the audio will be out of sync.

I’d love to know an answer, as well.

Also consider using wiggle() instead. If you want it to blur between 6 and 8, then set the blur value to 7, and then add this expression:

wiggle(1,1)

The first argument is the speed of the change, in this case: 1 time per second. The second argument is the amount of change, in this case: 1. So it will randomly raise or decrease up to 1 amount (maximum 8, minimum 6).

Thanks so much – that’s exactly what I needed.

I’m running into other similar issues now but they’re more minor and I think I’ll know how to deal with them now. Thanks again :).

Well that project opens fine for me, too – I get the error when I change layer 3’s expression to be

y = Math.pow(x,2.5);

Or some other decimal/fraction number.

Sorry that I forgot to mention that. I didn’t want to submit a project with errors because I assumed it wouldn’t show the error that way.

[Allen Ellis]

You’re right – it does.

The expression is applied to a point control. Here is the code:

x = this_comp.layer(“X”).effect(“X”).param(“Slider”);
y = Math.pow(x,3); // y = x^3

[x,y]

It complains about the error on the last line, not line 2.

Here is the project file:

Look at layer 3: “Point Control”.

Thanks in advance.
