The Settings tab in the Inspector is also duplicated in other miscellaneous nodes. These
common controls are described in detail at the end of this chapter in “The Common
Controls” section.
Time Speed [TSpd]
The Time Speed node
Time Speed Node Introduction
The Time Speed node allows image sequences to be sped up, slowed down, reversed, or
delayed. Image Interpolation offers smooth, high-quality results. Time Speed should be used
for static speed changes or to introduce delays in the footage. To apply animated changes in
time, such as accelerating or decelerating time, use a Time Stretcher instead.
When operating in Flow mode, Optical Flow data is required. This node does not generate
optical flow directly. You have to create it upstream using an Optical Flow node or by loading
the forward/reverse vector channels from the image.
TimeSpeed does not interpolate the aux channels but instead destroys them. In particular, the
Vector/BackVector channels are consumed and destroyed after computation.
Add an Optical Flow after the Time Speed node if you want to generate flow vectors for the
retimed footage.
Inputs
The single input on the Time Speed node is used to connect a 2D image that will be retimed.
Input: The orange input is used for the primary 2D image that will be retimed.
