Hi,

In Font node the expression $F is tied to frame numbers, but I want to slow it down, say, by half. How can I achieve this?

$F/2
?

Thx “goldfarb” for your reply,

yes, the way you wrote is a common approach, `$F/2` should slow down the speed. But in this case with the Font SOP, it does not give exactly what it should, because it also gives intermediate values, such as 1.5, 2.5 an so on. How can I get only whole values, i.e. between whole values it could only stick to wholes?

`rint($F/10)`

where 10 is increment every 10 frames…

Thank you “vusta” for your reply,

yes it helped, I am so grateful.

Can you tell me what does “r” mean in the beginning of the line?

rint is round int…which is wrong…my bad….it should be just int…..so take out the r at the start…

Thank you “vusta” for clarifying it.
