Update render every other frame?

[zeevo]

Hello

I'd like to simulate a slowdown, and just be able to add different speeds to my Sequences where applicable. Is there a way to slow down renders in some way?

I have tried rendering every odd frame, but I run into our favorite "React: Too many re-renders" error as I do not think useCurrentFrame() updates every time a component updates... and things start to get complicated fast.

Has anyone been able to implement slow-downs or things such as that while maintaining the same FPS?

Hi @zeevo, interesting question!

My idea would be to just multiply the return value of useCurrentFrame:

const frame = Math.round(useCurrentFrame() * 0.5)

and drive all your animations based off that. This is similar in style to how the playback speed feature works in our editor.
