SimplSam Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I am of the considered opinion that GSDevTools is one of the best things since sliced corn-bread! However ... I occasionally (and increasingly) miss the ability to manually step forwards and backwards in the timeline. I recognise that GSAP is not frame based, but in this context of stepping - I would love for it to behave as if it was. i.e. Hit the step-forward button (key) and the timeline advances +1/24 of a second. I figure there could be a default notion of 24fps, but that could be overridden with an optional named parameter during tool creation. And maybe even an option to snap to the absolute frame during step (like snap to grid). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSock Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Glad to hear you're enjoying GSDevTools! Yeah, GSAP is resolution-independent (think of it like vectors but for time), so there aren't really "frames" per se. I appreciate the feature suggestion. It doesn't seem like something many people would use (we've never received a request like this in all the years GSDevTools has been out), but if we get a lot of requests for it we'll certainly consider it for a future release. I can see how it could be useful in some cases. Let me guess - you come from a video/film background? Cheers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimplSam Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 OK thanks - it was worth a try. I may have to resort to a quick & dirty no-frills hack ... And yes I am from a varied computing, videography and animation background. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Englert - AREA 23 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Sorry to bump this thread but I would Love this feature, hold shift and press the left/right arrow key to step through Seems like it would be doable by simply setting a fixed increment for the progress of the timeline? Not exactly frame but that would work for most use cases. Thoughts anyone? Thanks!! D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSock Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Thanks for the suggestion @Daniel Englert - AREA 23. We'll keep it in mind for a possible future addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
