View Full Version : Automatic Flypath Times

In the Presentation Builder, adding a new point to the fly-path by default enters 1 second as the time to get to that point from the previous. This user command (auto installs from the library attached) replaces all the times in the fly-path with calculated times based on parameters that you specify for speed, and optionally, pan-rate and tilt-rate.

setConstantFlypathSpeed(str flypathname, num speed [,num panRate, num tiltRate])

This provides a good baseline from which further tweaks can me made. If you want to hold a position by inserting two points with the same coordinates and rotations, the function will enter zero as the time (since the time to travel will be zero) so you'll need to reenter those times.

Updated to also calculate the time for the return path from the last point back to the first.
