So what it seems to be doing is that it will count up the consecutive blank frames, but as soon as a new frame containing some different pixels appears, the counter resets to 0.04166666666. Since most of the animation is on twos this is why it goes from 0.0416666666 to .08333333, then resets back to 0.0416666666 on the next new frame. When the…

If I put this script into a slider or the source text of a layer, it does change values when it detects changes in the difference matte, but it doesn’t seem to be counting up. Most of the time it switches from a value of 0.041666666667 if there is data in the frame to a value of 0.08333333333333 if there is no pixel data in the frame (but…

I’m trying to create an expression that can compare one frame of an animation layer with the next frame to determine if there is any difference between the two and if so, trigger a texture overlay precomp to cycle to the next texture (if not it stays static).

Sometimes the animation is on twos but sometimes it switches to ones, and sometimes it’s…
