Houdini 22.0 Nodes Compositing nodes

Time Warp compositing node

Warps time by slowing or speeding it up throughout the sequence.

On this page

Old network

As of Houdini 20.5, use Copernicus nodes instead of Compositing nodes. Though both networks still exist, the Compositing network is now designated as COP Network - Old. The Compositing network and its nodes will be deprecated and then removed in a future Houdini release.

This operation warps time by slowing or speeding it up throughout the sequence. This operation does not use any cache memory as long as 'Frame Round' is not set to 'Blend Frames'.

Tip

Try an index expression of $I + sin($I*5).

Parameters

Warp Method

Allows you to control the warping using either an expression or a CHOP channel.

Index

The expression to control the amount of warping. Try: $I + sin($I*5)

CHOP

If you've set the Warp Method to CHOP, you should specify the CHOP path here.

Frame Round

Rounds to the: Nearest, Previous, or Next Frame. If you select Blend Frame, it will perform the necessary temporal aliasing to provide a smooth result.
