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 character holds a pose for multiple frames though, the counter ticks up each frame until reseting again when the pose changes.

What I’m trying to do is instead of the counter ticking up on consecutive frames where the image remains static (and then reseting on a new pose), the counter would remain static so long as the pose is static, and ticks up only when the pose changes (ie. the difference matte displays new information).

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 sometimes this is not the case).

Not sure if I’m using it correctly though. Dan what property/layer would you put this expression on to have it count up every time it detects a difference in the matte layer?

Thanks Dan!

Is there any way to split the text in half at a line break instead of at a space or character? I have a list of names that I’d like to split up into two text boxes just like this but I need to keep first and last names grouped together. Thanks in advance!

Thanks! I found it and it works for what I need.
