I have a 2 second clip and what I'd like the end result to be is 5 layers that show even time intervals.

so for example, if it was a baseball player swinging a bat, the whole thing at the end would be the first layer, he's got the bat behind him, then the second layer appears and the bat is next to him, the third he's hitting the ball, the fourth his swing's almost done, the final his swing finished.

what i'd like, though, is to be able to do this just by duplicating the layer four times - AND if the clips played and then froze.

i feel like you see this a lot with sports, like a guy going for a dunk or something. you get the stages of the jump, which remain on screen.

thanks, hopefully i explained this ok.

You can try posterizeTime, add this expression to the time remapping and set the holdFrames variable to your liking

-Lloyd

Code: Select all

holdFrames=4;   

framerate=(1/thisComp.frameDuration)/holdFrames;
posterizeTime(framerate);
value;
