Animate Effect script
Use Animate Effect script to create a movie from the current image and apply varying effects to each new movie frame. You specify the law under which some of effect parameters must vary from frame to frame and the script will apply the effect to each frame depending on the entered values.
To specify the variation of parameters you can use arithmetic expressions using the following components:
- Numeric constants
- Any number like 2, 6.9, -76.67. You can also use PI for 3.1415926... and E for 2.7182818...
- One of the following operators:
- + (addition), - (subtraction), * (multiplication), / (division), ^ (power)
- Parameter
- Use N keyword to represent the current movie frame being processed.
- Functions
- One of the following functions:
SIN - Sine
COS - Cosine
TAN - Tangent
SQR - Square root
LOG - base-10 logarithm
LN - natural logarithm
EXP - exponent (e raised to the given power) - Parentheses
- Use parentheses to control function evaluation order
For example, 5*(N-1) will evaluate to 0 for the first frame, 5 for the second, 10 for the third and so on.
