“I believe that if, at the end of it all, according to our abilities, we have done something to make others a little happier, and something to make ourselves a little happier, that is about the best we can do. To make others less happy is a crime. To make ourselves unhappy is where all crime starts. We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try. I didn’t always know this, and am happy I lived long enough to find it out.” — Roger Ebert

“Please do not be cynical … I hate cynicism. For the record it’s my least favorite quality. It doesn’t lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you’re kind, amazing things will happen. I’m telling you – amazing things will happen.” — Conan O’Brien

After Effects Expression to Remove Double Frames

I stumbled upon a great AE expression that couldn’t have come at a better time. Originally from MaxX at Motion-Graphics-Exchange, this little sucker can take out any pesky double frames in your footage. Just add this expression to a time remapping and voila!

f= timeToFrames();
p = Math.floor(f/1);
framesToTime(p*1.25)

This one is set to take out every 5th frame, if you want to change which frame to take out, just mess around with the multiplier in the last line. Works like magic, and just made my life oh so much easier. Thanks MaxX!
