Keyframe Stretcher [Kfs]
The Keyframe Stretcher node
Keyframe Stretcher Node Introduction
The Keyframe Stretcher node is inserted after animated nodes, so the keyframes stretch and
the comp’s duration is modified. It is used to scale the keyframes on the animation curve to the
current duration of the clip. This is particularly useful when creating title templates in Fusion for
use in DaVinci Resolve’s Edit or Cut page.
TIP: The Keyframe Stretcher can be used on a single parameter by applying the
Keystretcher modifier.
Inputs
The single input on the Keyframe Stretcher node is used to connect a 2D image that contains
keyframe animation.
Input: The orange input is used for any node with keyframed animation. The input
can be a Merge node that is not animated but contains foreground and background
nodes that are animated.
Basic Node Setup
The Keyframe Stretcher is added just before the Media Out or Saver node. All nodes that
include animation before the Keyframe Stretcher are modified if the comp changes duration.

The diagram below shows the original 50-frame animation added to a parameter. The Keyframe
Stretcher Start and End would be set to 0 and 50. The second keyframe is set at frame 10, and
the third keyframe is set at frame 40. Setting the Stretch Start to frame 11 and the Stretch End to
frame 39 will keep the existing keyframes at the same speed (number of frames.) The middle
will be stretched.
