Record Modifier
Updated: 20 Aug 2025
Allows the recording, playback and editing of numeric values over time
Record Modifier
Method #
This node allows you to record an incoming numeric value, capturing its value over time and converting it into key-framed data. This can be really useful when working with live incoming data, especially in cases where you are working on location and want to capture data to be used for look development later on.
To start using this node, connect any numeric value into the node’s input pin. You can then enable and disable recording inside of the node’s properties.
Once the node is set to recording, it will record data when your scene is playing. The node will automatically de-arm recording when the play head is stopped.
Once data has been recorded, you can edit it just like any other key-framed animation data, by going to the timeline or the curve editor.
By default, this node will generate keyframes with a linear interpolation. This can be changed after recording inside of the curve editor.
Parameters
These properties control the core behaviours of the node.
Parameter Details Record..
Determines whether the node is recording.
- Stopped : The node will not record any data
- Recording : The node will record data when the notch timeline is playing
Current Value
Shows the current value of the effect. Cannot be directly changed.
Incoming Value
ERROR: Variable not found: {att-node-modifiers-incoming-value-description}
Recorded Value
The value of the data recorded. The data that will be played back at the given time.
Create Key Mode
Determines how keyframes will be created as data is recorded.
- Continuous : A new keyframe value will be generated per each frame.
- On Change : A keyframe will only be generated when the incoming value changes.
Pass Through
The node will not playback any recorded data, and just pass through it’s incoming value as if it was not there.
Record Frame Rate
The frame rate at which data is recorded.
Modifier Operation
The operation to be performed on the targeted parameter.
- Add : Adds to the parameter value.
- Subtract : Subtracts from the parameter value.
- Multiply : Multiplies the parameter value.
- Replace : Replaces the parameter value.
