I’m using the p5 python lib [https://github.com/p5py/p5](https://github.com/p5py/p5)
I would love to do an animation scence that is 3 seconds long. So the draw loop should run for 90 frames, with 30 frames a second.
I’m trying to do this by using no\_loop() and redraw(). But it’s not working… Any ideas on what to do?
```auto
from p5 import *
frames = 90
def setup():
size(1280, 720)
no_stroke()
no_loop()
def draw():
background(255)
save_frame("out/export.png")
if __name__ == ' __main__':
run(frame_rate=30)
for i in range(0,frames):
redraw()
```

Welcome, @renec112!
How about using the [`frame_count`](https://p5.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/environment.html?highlight=frame_count#frame-count)? Something like this:
```auto
from p5 import *
frames = 90
def setup():
pass
def draw():
print(frame_count)
save_frame('frame.png')
if frame_count == frames:
exit()
if __name__ == ' __main__':
run(frame_rate=30)
```

Thank you for the brilliant solution. Works perfectly!
And thank you for the welcome. I’m really excited to learn about this beutiful graphics package. I’m used to matplotlib which has its pros and cons 😃
