Frame

Intro

Use and manipulate time to drive other attributes.

Common Attributes +

Value - Set a multiplier for Time. The final output is $Value × Time × Strength + Offset$.

Interpolation Mode - Determine how the output value is calculated:

• 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 - Set a value to add to the output value. Also used as the hold value ($× Strength$) before the Start Frame.

Start Frame - Set a frame for Time to start increasing on. Before this frame, the output is $Offset × Strength$.

Time - Current frame from the timeline. Defaults 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.
