FileIn Timing Parameters
The second subtab under the FileIn Parameters tab is the Timing tab. The parameters in
this tab control the timing of image sequences and movie files used in your Shake
script. Many of these timing parameters, including timeShift, inPoint, and outPoint, can
also be manipulated directly in the Time View.
The Timing tab also has options for retiming images, creating fast, slow, or variable-
speed motion effects. These are covered in more detail in “
Retiming ” on page 117.
To access the timing parameters of a FileIn node:
1 Load the selected FileIn node’s parameters into the Parameters tab by double-clicking
it, or clicking the icon on the right side of the node.
2 Click the Parameters1 tab, and then click the Timing tab to reveal the timing
parameters.
