Viewer Shelf Controls
When you use an active node with onscreen controls, additional controls also appear in
the Viewer shelf (a row of buttons that appears directly underneath the Viewer).
Accelerating Viewer Interactivity
There are two fast ways you can speed up Shake’s performance when using onscreen
transform controls to perform transformations:
To quickly scrub through an animation, set the Update mode (located in the upper-
right corner of the interface) to “release” then move the playhead. To select release
from the Update mode list, click and hold the button labeled, “manual” or “always,”
then select “release.” Because the image does not update until you release the mouse
button, this setting lets you manipulate the controls freely without being slowed
down by constant image processing.
You can also lower the Global interactiveScale parameter. Doing so dynamically
lowers the resolution of images as they’re being manipulated in Shake. This allows
you to see the changes you’re making to the image as you’re making them, albeit at
lower resolution. When you release the mouse button, the image returns to the
current resolution of the project.
