Updated: 21 Oct 2024
Converts a text string to a modifier value.
Text To Value
Method #
This node takes the characters from an input text string and generates a floating-point output value. It supports positive and negative input strings such as +5 or -3, as well as hexadecimal input strings such as 0x3f8.
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 Current Value
Shows the current value of the effect. Cannot be directly changed.
Rounding Mode
Choose how to alter the value.
- None : No value manipulation takes place.
- Round Up : Rounds the value up, calculating the smallest integral value that is not less than the initial value. For example, 2.3 would become 3.0.
- Round Down : Rounds the value down, calculating the largest integral value that is not greater than the initial value. For example, 2.9 would become 2.0.
- Absolute : Calculates the absolute value. For example, -5.0 would become 5.0.
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.
