Tore Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Can somebody help me with an explanation on how the settings for an animated layer inside a coreography works? My scene includes a model of a tv on which I have an animated layer made from 24 still frames. It is to be played in loop by say 8 fps and repeated say 10 times. Where do I set this? The settings "crop" and "range" in the "timing" dialogue are somewhat cryptic to me...is there something I have overlooked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted April 28, 2014 Hash Fellow Share Posted April 28, 2014 It's not possible to do a repeat with the Crop and Range parameters. Leave those unset. The way to do a repeat is to animate values in "Frame" keyframe 0 and 24 on the frames you want them to happen, select the curve that creates, >Curve>Post-Extrapolation Method>Repeat to make that inital curve repeat indefinitely. If you just want three repeats, keyframe 0 to 24 three times manually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted April 28, 2014 Hash Fellow Share Posted April 28, 2014 Actually it IS possible to do a repeat with Crop and Range but it's not simple. Use "Frame". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyGormezano Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I had an 1100 frame sequence that I cropped to just 25 frames (0-24) and in the chor, set the frame #'s for first instance, then set the post extrapolation to repeat. But like Rob said, if you only want it to go 3 cycles, then input start, end frames on the timeline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
