Repeat every X seconds
Posted: Fri Feb 09, 2024 9:25 pm
I was experimenting with the sequencer and was looking to make a loop that repeats itself exactly every so many seconds. I can use the wait command in the sequence however if there are captures taking place in the repeat loop, the captures are not always exactly the same length of time. When capturing live frames with a lot of repeats the time gradually creeps past the intended time where I wish the loop to end. I am very new to this so forgive me if what I ask is obvious or not an intended feature for the sequence planner.
I am working in the planner on a sequence that captures say 20 live frames at every 1% of the eclipse. Instead of making a separate time for each of the capture time points, my plan is to repeat the capture every 46.19 seconds to capture each 1% of phase and end in time for the main event where I will start other sequences. Would capturing exactly 4 seconds of live frames instead of a set amount of frames (my camera does around 5 live frames per sec) then subtract the 4 seconds from the intended repeat loop delay get me closer to my target end time.
