Frame

Intro

Use and manipulate time to drive other attributes.

UI

Common Attributes +

Value - Set a multiplier for time.

Interpolation Mode - Determine how the value is output:

• Frame - Output the current $frame * Value$.
• Seconds - Increase the value every second (depends on the Frame Rate of the Composition).

Cycle Length - When Interpolation Mode is set to Seconds, set how many seconds it takes to add the 'value'.

Graph - When Interpolation Mode is set to Seconds, adjust the interpolation of the value over a second. See Graph Attribute.

Offset - Offset the time in frames.

Start Frame - Set a frame for time to begin on.

Time - An auto connection to the Composition's time.

Example

1. Create a Basic Line.
2. Set its Pivot.X to 100.
3. Right click on the Basic Line's Rotation attribute and choose Add Behaviour > Frame.
4. Set the Frame Behaviour's:
   • Interpolation Mode to Seconds.
   • Open the Graph and set the left point's Position to 0.95.
   • Set the Value to -6 (a clock's second hand rotates 6° every second).
5. Press Play.

This will create the second hand of a ticking clock.
