Hi Dan,

I’m in the same boat. I’m animating a character but to keep the slider controls on whole numbers specifically helps when keying frames and overall cleaner. If you scrub a slider after being applied, it adds decimals by default. The slider is parented to a composition that has multiple layers nested within it. Each layer is only visible for 1 frame. As you scrub through the composition a character’s facial expression only appears for just that frame. Now when you time remap that composition, you first delete the last keyframe in the time remap. Then you can pick whip the time remap (via expression) to a slider. Now when you scrub the slider, your comp should display various facial expressions depending on the numeric value of your slider. However, there are no decimals in the comp. There’s no need to show 2.76 in the slider. When it’s rigged, if I hand this file off to another animator, it’s confusing. If the slider only has whole integers then it’s very clear what facial expression is being displayed. However, I don’t know how to show whole numbers in the slider. Does this make more sense? Thank you for your help figuring this out… 🙂
