Speed Tracking Modifier
Updated: 4 Dec 2023
Calculates speed of movement in an input node.
Speed Tracking Modifier
Method #
This node calculates the rate of movement of the source node, connected via the “Tracked Node” input, and outputs it as a value.
The output is a numeric value that can be further processed with other modifiers, or directly connected to a parameter in another node, using the operation method selected.
Parameters
These properties control the core behaviours of the node.
Parameter Details Scale
Adjust the scale/range of the modifier.
Smoothing
Adjust the amount of smoothing to applied to the output value.
Decay
Controls the time between the peak to the sustain level.
Max Speed
Set a maximum speed the modifier can read for a value.
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.
Restore Values
Toggle whether the values restore to 0. If unchecked, generated values incrementally add to the modifier value.
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.
