Frame Buffer
Method #
This node periodically holds a frame to a frame buffer for a short period of time, before updating based on the “Frame Grab Rate”. Useful for quickly grabbing a frame to hold onto in the scene, or for giving the appearance of lowering the frame rate of a video while allowing other effects to continue to update at the correct rate.
Parameters
These properties control the core behaviours of the node.
Parameter Details Blend Amount Changes the opacity of the new effect over the original image.
Frame Grab Active Controls whether the frame buffer is actively collecting frames to store in its buffer.
Frame Grab Rate How many frames ahead the new frame is buffered.
Inputs
