convert frames to percentage

hi there,

i want to make my animation as a loop - i know that sl changes the value of frames to percent - but my question is (because i want to make it perfect *ggg) the first frame is for some reason reserved (i dont want to know why) so do i have to calculate together with the first frame when i am changing the value of frames to percentage !?

for example if i have a 100 frames animation the percentage would be with the 1st frame = 1 frame / 1% - now if i dont take the first frameit would be 99 frames = 100 %

so what of this both methods is right !?

thx a lot for replies

Trying to be that mathematically precise is pointless because of slight differences between how the animation looks in your animation tool and once uploaded into SL. You usually have to fiddle a bit with the in/out points anyway, doing multiple uploads and using trial and error to see how it looks. Just calculate close and then do trial and error adjusting a percentage up or down.

Incidentally, I'm assuming here you only want to loop a portion of your animation. If what you want is to loop the entire animation, just leave the numbers at the default 0 to 100.

yes i know i will have to try - but my question actualy was - if someone knows how sl handles the first frame - in or out of the 100 % ?
