Thanks Jeff.

Turn off your Live Update switch.
I think that after you pass a certain number of layers the LiveUpdate engine freaks out.

Heat does become an issue, but you see more noise than noticeable colour shift. You get a warning before this happens though. There are ways of dealing with the heat. If you are looking to shoot long clips (like over 10mins) I would look at a video specific camera instead.

Dan that’s awesome!
You’re so great at expressing yourself.
I’ve always marveled at the amazing power of expressions but could never wrap my head around them. If I can’t pick whip it, I’m whipped.

Thanks

Cool
Thanks
How would you go about modifying this to have a keyframed begin and end point?

numDecimals = 2;
commas = true;
dollarSign = true;
beginCount = -1999;
endCount = 1999;
dur = 4;

t = time - inPoint;
s = linear (t, 0, dur, beginCount, endCount).toFixed(numDecimals);

prefix = "";
if (s[0] == "-"){
prefix = "-";
s = s.substr(1);
}
if(dollarSign) prefix += "$";

if (commas){
decimals = "";
if (numDecimals > 0){
decimals = s.substr(-(numDecimals + 1));
s = s.substr(0,s.length - (numDecimals + 1));
}
outStr = s.substr(-s.length, (s.length-1)%3 +1);
for (i = Math.floor((s.length-1)/3); i > 0; i--){
outStr += "," + s.substr(-i*3,3);
}
prefix + outStr + decimals;
}else{
prefix + s;
}
