yeah that is really interesting. definitely check out createDigitalMotion.com
they cover this stuff on a regular basis.

Personally, I learned from books.
Schools give you one-on-one advice from experts, but then so do online schools like FXPHD. Schools also give you resources like cameras and computer labs.

this is a common conceptual issue, there are two different kinds of changes you can do to the clip. you can change the framerate, which does not affect the speed, or you can change the speed, which does not change the framerate.
Framerate is how many frames are sent to the viewer every second. Lower framerates look choppy, higher framerates look smoother.
Speed changes add or subtract frames from the source clip to change it’s apparent speed of playback.
The speed-based time-remap graph is the tool used to keyframe controls based on speed of the clip.
In short, it is possible to write an expression that does exactly what you are asking, ie converts timecode into a kind of simulated framerate, but no one has because it is a mis-application of the term “framerate”. It would be nice to have it as percentage like time stretch uses, but that also would take some time to work out the math on.

I still dont think you need an expression.
Controlling framerate with a slider is exactly what posterize time does, but it just doesnt allow you to go above the original rate of the clip.
If you want full speed control, then enable time-remap, go into graph view, use the properties menu at the bottom to change the graph to be a speed graph instead of a value graph.
you should be able to link that to a expression slider, if you prefer a slider interface.

one thing I’ve noticed with Motion is that it hates dual monitor setups. It uses the video card so extensively that a dual monitor setup dramatically drops it’s performance.

why not use posterize time. seems like it does exactly what you are trying to do with an expression.

thank yall, it’s really cool to see the ratings change. i think we will finally find out what the BEST mg is!

we did update our licence for the festival:
Please Note: Submissions to the festival are assumed to have all permissions and copyrights cleared by the entrant. Artists keep ownership of the work, but grant Design After Next, LLC full and unlimited rights to international screening, distribution, and sales of the submission.
does that sound better?

it’s the same licence that Promax and RES fest have. We had been a non-profit organization, but the paperwork was limiting. We intend to continue with the same motivation of providing new outlets for creativity. If you want to be included as a presentation artist only and not be included in the festival DVD, then just indicate that on your submission. Does that help clarify a bit?
