User Manual

Inspector
Frame Tab
The Frame tab is where the command to execute is selected and modified.
Hide
Enable the Hide checkbox to prevent the application or script from displaying a window when it
is executed.
Wait
Enable this checkbox to cause the node to wait for a remote application or tool to exit before
continuing. If this checkbox is disabled, the Fusion continues rendering without waiting for the
external application.
Frame Command
This field is used to specify the path for the command to be run after each frame is rendered.
The Browse button can be used to identify the path.
Interactive
This checkbox determines whether the launched application should run interactively, allowing
user input.
Number A (%a) and Number B (%b)
Various wildcards can be used with the frame commands; these wildcards will be substituted at
render time with the correct values.
 %a: Outputs the number from the Number A thumbwheel control.
 %b: Outputs the number from the Number B thumbwheel control.
 %t: Outputs the current frame number (without zero padding).
 %s: Substitutes using the text from the large text entry field.
If you want to add zero paddings to the numbers generated by %t, refer to the wildcard with
%0x, where x is the number of characters with which to pad the value. This also works for
%a and %b.
