Using the Time View

The Time View lets you modify the timing parameters that are found inside each FileIn
node in your node tree. This means that you have the option of modifying these timing
parameters either numerically, in the Parameters tab, or graphically, in the Time View.
Either way, the effect is the same.

As soon you make changes to a clip’s timing, an internal node called IReTime is
associated with a FileIn node. The IReTime node is saved into the script, but is invisible
in the Node View. The IReTime parameters are controlled by the FileIn node parameters
and in the Time View.

Viewing Nodes in the Time View

The Time View displays only image nodes and compositing nodes with more than one
input. Other nodes are not represented. For example, in the following node tree, the
Pan node is not visible in the Time View.

It’s possible to further reduce the number of nodes displayed in the Time View,
allowing you to concentrate on only a select group of nodes.

To display only currently selected nodes:

m

Turn on the Select Group, located at the bottom-left side of the Time View.
