Motion Predictor
Updated: 4 Dec 2023
Predicts the motion of an input transform.
Motion Predictor
Method #
This node predicts the motion of a node it is following - causing it to be positioned ahead of the current location of that node.
The node whose motion should be tracked is added to the Following Node input, and the output can be connected to any node where the predicted position is needed.
Parameters
These properties control the core behaviours of the node.
Parameter Details Prediction Amount
How much the predicted position affects the current position.
Smoothing
How much smoothing between points is done for the predicted position.
Max Step Size
Maximum size between each predicted next step.
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.
