working with posterizeTime
by Bert Brown on Jul 9, 2008 at 3:05:26 pm

I'm trying to get a "Blend With Original" to work with posterizeTime, so for the first half second it's at 0 and the next it's at 100, with no in between.

?

Would something like this applied to the posterize frame rate give you what you're after?

posterizeRate = 2;
normalRate = 1/thisComp.frameDuration;
if(Math.floor(time/.5)%2) normalRate else posterizeRate

i'm not sure, as i'm not sure what you mean by applying to the posterize frame rate

i applied that expression to the "blend with original" and it blinks at the right time, but it goes from 2% to 30%.

basically i'm just wondering how you make something blink, or better yet switch from 0 to 100, twice a second

Sorry - I'm still not sure what you're trying to do, but try this:

if(Math.floor(time/.5)%2) 0 else 100
