hi guys,

in after effects there is no way to import a picture sequence and say take only every nth frame.

so my question is when i have a CG rendering done in 25fps and i want only take every nth frame in my 25fps comp so is it possible to do this over a expresssion in the time remapping layer?

i want to have a stop motion look. so no smooth animation. i need the jumps over the same time. i hope u understand me what i need.thx!

ciao,

This should do what you want, add it as an expression to Time Remap.

wow that was a fast answer!

thx!
it works very well!

Hi,

I'd like to know if there's a way to modify this expression to show ranges of frames.

e.g.: show the first 5 frames, then don't show the next 5 frames, show the next 5 frames, ....

Kind of "show n frames every nth frames".

Cheers,

Hi Stefan,

What do you mean by "show". You want the opacity to go to zero or do you want to compress the sequence by removing the frames.

Hi Lloyd,

I'd like to remove frames.

That means that I'd like to exclude a series of n frames every nth frame.

If e.g. I excluded 2 frames every third frame, in the remapped result AE would play only these frames:

1,2, (excluded) ,5,6, (excluded) 9,10,....

I think it would look like this:

n = 5;
f = timeToFrames();
framesToTime(Math.floor(f/n)*2*n + f%n)
