How do I apply ping-pong to a certain area on a layer

Post by alicecool199 »

When on the same layer, there are two parts, and I would only want to apply the Ping-Pong effect to the first part, for example, from frame 1 to frame 30, but not the frame after that. How do I do it?
I know it would work if I just apply it to the entire layer by making the last frame "Ping-Pong", but that's not what I want.
I have attached a pic.

Does anyone know how to solve this ?

There is a function called "Faux-Fixe" what is exactly doing that. Search in the forum or read the manual about it.

In addition to using Faux-Fixe, you stop the Ping-Ponging at a certain point by placing a new frame where you want the effect to stop. The new frame might be the first frame of your ping pong or anything else.

Wait. Actually I am still a bit confused about few things.
When I set a repeat, for example, it does work but the playback keeps flashing. However, when I view it by scrolling the timeline, this won't happen.
What is happening here? :?:

My first guess is that you have the Faux Fixe value set incorrectly. Try to change it to onr number shorter or something like that.
