RotoShape Node Parameters

The RotoShape node has the following controls:

timing
Three parameters within the timing subtree of the RotoShape parameters allow you to
modify when a rotoshape starts and ends. An additional retimeShapes control lets you
retime all keyframes that have been applied to that RotoShape node.

timeShift
Offsets the entire rotoshape, along with any keyframes that have been applied to it.
This parameter corresponds to the position of that rotoshape in the Time View.

inPoint
Moves the in point of the rotoshape, allowing you to change where that rotoshape
begins. This parameter corresponds to the in point of the rotoshape in the Time View.

outPoint
Moves the out point of the rotoshape, allowing you to change where that rotoshape
ends. This parameter corresponds to the out point of the rotoshape in the Time View.

retimeShapes
The retimeShapes control, within the timing subtree of a rotoshape’s parameters, lets
you retime all of the keyframes that are applied to that rotoshape. Using this
command, you can compress the keyframes that are animating a rotoshape, speeding
up the changes taking place from keyframe to keyframe, or expand them, slowing the
animation down. When you click retimeShapes, the Node Retime window appears.
