Merge channel node

Takes multiple inputs and merges them into the output.

This chop takes multiple inputs and merges them into the output. All the channels of the input appear in the output. The channel order is the channels of the first input followed by the channels of the second input, and so on.

Channel names may conflict, but a channel is renamed according to the Duplicate Names menu.

Parameters

Stretch to Min/Max

Find the earliest start and latest end, and stretch every channel’s start and end to that range.

Shift to Minimum

Find the earliest start and shift all channels so they all start at that index. All channels are extended to the length of the longest one.

Shift to Maximum
