Shake Basics

Working With Windows

Now that you have a few images loaded, this is a good time to practice methods of
working with the Shake windows.

Launching a Flipbook

In the Viewer shelf, click the Flipbook button to render a Flipbook for the node
displayed in the current Viewer.

If a FileOut node is selected, the actual FileOut is not executed. To render to disk, use the
Render command (right-click in the Node View, or use the Render menu). Otherwise,
the sequence is rendered into memory and you can play it back.
