Data Export with start frame offset
Michael Peschk
8 Posts

I noticed a problem with the data export.

how to reproduce:

- The first frame is skipped because it only contains reference objects for calibration -> set startframe to frame 001 (or higher)
- track point mass
- set zero time at a specific frame step
- set number format (wish I could save my own format rules)
- set axis to traced point at time 0 (I wish there was a button that sets the origin to a point of my choice in the active frame)

Then I exported the point mass via File>Export>Data as formatted. However, the timestamp is shifted by one frame. I suspect that the skipped frames are still used for the timestamp calculation during export.

If you export the data via the Data Tool then the time stamp is correct, but unfortunately you cannot format the output here.
