Yes you can, and quite accurately. The PAR can start your animations on a particular frame either by fr numbar or smpte time. (dual time display) The GPI trigger is adjustable in 0.01 seconds increments for very accurate time delay to start the animation playback from the GPI pulse. To end the animation on a particular frame is accomplished in two ways.: 1. By setting your outpoint on your edit controller and 2. by just copying the animation file from, frame 26 (for starters) to frame 88 ( for outpoint) as an example, and then playing that animation rather than from the original longer animation. If you don't have an outpoint set on your edit controller you will play the animation until you reach the end and you can either select repeat or stop and hold on the last frame. I like the repeat feature for creating long "loop tapes" for clients. There are many other options for special effects in the PAR as well such as ping-pong, slomo, fast mo, and combinations of looping segments. We use these for creating the video stutter – MAX headroom like humorous effects in our videos.
