AE expression problem

• CyBrainX

  I'd like to randomize the time remapping of a bunch of layers. This won't work. It's jumping crazy on each frame.

  Can anyone figure out what's wrong? Thanks in advance.

  randomDelay = random(2.5, 4.5);
  thisComp.layer(index + 1).timeRemap.valueAtTime(time - randomDelay);

  is timeRemap in ms? or frames? because using broken numbers might be the cause

  Time remap works in seconds I think. Sounds like a seed value is changing with each frame. Append this to the beginning of your expression:

  seed = 0;
  seedRandom(seed, 1);

  Could work!

  • I'll try this at work on Monday. I eventually gave up and manually shuffled the layers to get the randomness I wanted but I'd still like to figure this out.CyBrainX
