The operators just have a time property with an expression that reads all the controls from the time control for ease.
Instead you could just add a '*T*' expression and it will update the frame (time). And say you want to slip the cache by 5 frames and your framerate is 25 - the expression would be *T + ((1/25)*5)* Simon Reeves London, UK *[email protected] <[email protected]>* *www.simonreeves.com <http://www.simonreeves.com>* *www.analogstudio.co.uk <http://www.analogstudio.co.uk>* On 6 May 2015 at 17:28, Morten Bartholdy <[email protected]> wrote: > The Crate documentation is kind of slim so I don't know the proper > anatomy of alembic in a scene.
