Set numeric time for transition_time but display date in label?

[jzelner]

Hi - I'm trying to produce an animated map in gganimate in which each frame represents a day, but I want to control the speed in a specific way: 5x speed from the beginning until 2 weeks before the end and then 1x speed thereafter. I can do this with a numeric index by increasing the spacing at the later frames, but cannot figure out how to do this and still have the date displayed in the title using {frame_time} in labs. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Jon. I dont know how to do with one specific R comand but I have 2 ideas:

• You can do 2 different animation ( 1 for first 2 week and 1 for rest) for that you must agregate 2 lines:

a1<-animate(Plot, fps = 5, duration = 7,renderer = av_renderer())
#if you do not put render the you have a gif format
#You can play with duration depend on number of data of second animation
anim_save("a1.mp4", a1)
Then you can join 2 animation with any video editor

• That is not my favourite but you can repeat the data of the second part 5 times within the visualization
