Video Clip
Method #
This node is an alternative source for an imported video or image source from the resources window. It is also used to have multiple time segments by splitting it up within the timeline window.
Parameters
These properties control the core behaviours of the node.
Parameter Details Preview In Viewport Preview the generated image as an overlay in the viewport.
- Off : No preview is generated.
- RGBA : Preview the image blended with alpha in the viewport.
- RGB : Preview the colour channels in the viewport.
- Alpha : Preview the alpha channel in the viewport.
- PIP : Preview the image blended with alpha in the viewport, in a smaller picture in picture display, on top of the existing content.
Apply PostFX Before Alpha Image Input (Legacy) When enabled, the alpha input image is applied after the postfx pass, overwriting any effects the postfx would have applied to the alpha channel.
Static Image (Process Only Once) Only process the image once, making a more efficient scene. Animated Post-FX nodes will not function with this enabled.
Format Conversion Convert the image to a different format. useful for dealing with banding issues.
Allow Frame Drops When a frame is dropped, the previous frame is held until a new frame is ready to take its place.
Flip Image X Flip the image along the x axis.
Flip Image Y Flip the image along the y axis.
These properties control unique properties for each time segment in the timeline, allowing for multiple videos to be used by this node, and swapped between with time segments.
Parameter Details Video Select a video from the resources window to be used as the source.
Frame Rate Control the frame rate of the video.
Frame Rate Offset Offset the frame rate of the video.
Looping Enable the video to loop back to the beginning once it reaches the loop end frame. if disabled, nothing will be output.
Loop Start Frame With looping enabled sets the beginning frame to start the loop from.
Loop End Frame With looping enabled sets the final frame to end the loop on.
