Question

How do I change the rate at which an MGJason file is read?

Hi all - I'm still a newbie at this so aplogies for the big gaps in my knowledge (that's why I'm here). I'm trying to change the rate at which AE seems to 'read' my MGJason files. The frame rate I'm using in Composition Settings is 30 fps, and the video that I'm using at the background upon which elements are animated, is also 30 fps. However, the MGJason file that's being linked to to animate their motions is being  (by default?) read at 25 fps, which is clearly slowing the element's motions by 25/30 and throwing everything out of whack. I never assigned the 25 rate or even see how to go about changing it to a matching, 30 fps. I've been Googling and searching around AE but am befuddled. Thoughts? Help? - Thanks!

This is based on the time/ frame values in the file. If none are present, it should be one data set per frame. Impossible to say much more than that without having a look at your data. Maybe there's also some framerate override somewhere in the file.

Hi Mylenium - oh wow, that was a great suggestion. It prompted to look again at the site that I'm sending my csv files to for cenversion to MGJson - and finally read it carefully. What I've been missing is that I need to have, as the first csv column, one that's titled 'milliseconds' with the frame times sequencially increasing beneath that (in my case, 0, 033, 066, etc, for 30 fps data). That fixed it. Thanks for steering me in the right direction
