[noob question 2] set duration to frames by default

[goonzy]

Hi

 

Another noob question for me:

 

Is there a way to set the duration timingto frames instead of seconds by default for all the tweens in a project?

 

Cheers

Nope, the vast majority of users perfer timing based on seconds instead of frames because it ensures that timings will remain consistent even if the frame rate bogs down during CPU-intensive rendering routines or whatever. Frames-based tweens will always play a certain number of frames, so if the frame rate slows down, everything.....will....take....longer....to....complete.

 

There isn't a way to set the default timing mode to frames. Just set useFrames:true in your tweens.

so basically, if my line is

 

TweenMax.fromTo(red_double_2, 0.5, {y:8, scaleY:0.6,colorMatrixFilter:{brightness:0.4}}, {y:100, onComplete:bar_1_low, ease:Sine.easeIn, scaleY:1, colorMatrixFilter:{brightness:1}});

 

at 50fps as I want my tween to be 25 frames long, I just change it to:

 

TweenMax.fromTo(red_double_2, 25, {y:8, scaleY:0.6,colorMatrixFilter:{brightness:0.4}}, {y:100, onComplete:bar_1_low, ease:Sine.easeIn, scaleY:1, colorMatrixFilter:{brightness:1},useFrames:true});
