theres also the timecode effect that will do the burnin and can be set to display frame numbers and using the layer sources time. so the layers first frame would be 0 and count up, u can set it to custom if your image seq doesnt start at 0...
I’m working with some long space image sequences (20,000+ frames) and need a quick way to identify a specific frame in a sequence. I need to hack some way for AE to tell me which filename of the imported image sequence is on screen, ideally via visual burn-in layer – but it appears AE can only reference the file name? The workaround would be doing math but that gets awkward very fast.
A film is – or should be – more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what’s behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.
