Using Static Expressions
Once you're
happy with a
static expression, you
might want to
generate images/
videos of it at
different levels of
activation.
In the following
example, we're going to use the
Anger 002 static expression.
As
explained in the "
Batch Image Export"
page, we're going to work in the "
Dynamic Expression"
tab.
To set
Anger 002 at 50%
activation, we're
simply going to
move the first
control point of its
track to 50% (0.5).
In
order to do that
precisely, we
start by
setting "
snapping" on, in the
upper-
right part of the
window (see
figure 1).
This way, the
position of our
control points will
snap to the
nodes of an
invisible grid.
While
moving control points, keep an
eye on the
Intensity field at the
bottom of the
screen (see
figure 2).
At this
point, your
dynamic expression window should
look similar to
figure 3.
Once this is
done,
save the
current dynamic expression:
File => Dynamic Expression => Save...
Give it an
appropriate file name, in this case,
Anger 002 - 050prc.fda .
You may want to
repeat this
process for
different levels of
activation.
Typically, one would
generate 5
dynamic expressions, all using the same
static expression, with
different levels of
activation,
named as follows:
Anger 002 - 000prc.fda
Anger 002 - 025prc.fda
Anger 002 - 050prc.fda
Anger 002 - 075prc.fda
Anger 002 - 100prc.fda
These
different dynamic expressions can later be used to automatically
create a
large set of
images/
videos (see "
Batch Video Export"
page).
