264 Chapter 8 Using the Time View
Image Node Controls
When you move the pointer over an image node in the Time View, three controls
appear: the Viewer indicator, the parameters indicator, and the Ignore control.
Image Sequence Timing Controls
In the Time View, image nodes also have timing handles, located at the beginning and
end of the bars. Timing handles allow you to adjust the In and Out points of a clip or
Shake-generated image. Non-image nodes have no timing handles.
You can adjust the In and Out points of an image node by dragging its timing handles
to the left or right. You can also drag image nodes and compositing nodes in the Time
View, changing their location in time.
In the following screenshot, the RGrad1 and bus2 image nodes both have timing
handles, at the left and right edges of the bars. However, the Over1 node has no
handles because, as a non-image compositing node, it inherits the duration of the
longest image node to which it is connected.
Adjusting a Clip’s timeShift Parameter
The timeShift parameter corresponds the the clip’s position in the Time View—
adjusting the timeShift parameter moves the entire clip forward or backward along the
Time View.
