Smoothing Null
Updated: 17 Sep 2025
Smooth the movement of an input node.
Smoothing Null
Method #
This node takes transform values from input (Nulls) and allows you to smoothly interpolate between them. It can be used to smooth the value of one input, or smoothly interpolate between multiple inputs using the Selected Null Index. Smoothed Position, Rotation, and Scale are all inherited by the child nodes.
Parameters
These properties control the core behaviours of the node.
Parameter Details Selected Null Index
Which of the input transforms to move to.
Adaption Rate
How quickly the null adapts to the new positions input.
Smoothing Mode
Select how the mode moves between input transforms.
- None : Jumps between positions with no smoothing applied.
- Smooth : changes between transforms using the adaption rate.
Shortest Rotation Arc
Use the path with the shortest distance to the next input transform.
The properties control the time at which the node is active. See Timeline for editing time segments.
Parameter Details Duration
Control the duration of the node’s time segment.
- Composition Duration : Use the length of the composition for the node’s time segment duration.
- Custom : Set a custom duration for the node’s time segment.
Node Time
The custom start and end time for the node.
Duration (Timecode)
The length of the node’s time segment (in time).
Duration (Frames)
The length of the node’s time segment (in frames).
Time Segment Enabled
Set whether the node’s time segment is enabled or not in the Timeline.
