smoothFrame

smoothFrame can be used to smooth motion across a single frame, independent of framerate.

This can be used, for example, to implement input smoothing.

Note: To smooth motion using a Framesync-based process or library like Popmotion Pure, the smooth utility offers a simpler API.

Import

import { smoothFrame } from '@popmotion/popcorn';

Usage

smoothFrame accepts prevValue, nextValue, frameDuration and strength arguments.

It will return a value that smooths the difference between prevValue and nextValue according to the frameDuration and strength properties.

smoothFrame(0, 100, 16.7, 50); // 33.4

Higher strength values impose stronger smoothing, with values the same as or less than the frameDuration imposing no smoothing.

Types

smoothFrame(
  prev: number,
  next: number,
  frameDuration: number,
  strength: number
): number
