Houdini is still new to me. I don't know of any program where you can't do simple calculations in input fields.

For example, in the timeline. Let's say I'm on frame 76 and want to jump 18 frames ahead. It doesn't work to put + 18 after 76.
I have to calculate it myself and override 76 with 94.

Could it be that this isn't possible in Houdini? Or is there a trick?

This only seems to work in the Animation Editor when I want to move keyframes.

Hi,

You can't do this in every parameter field. But if you really need this feature, your best bet is to create a simple python script that shows a popup field where you could type an offset like 5, or -10 then use that value to change the current time.

Thanks for the reply. This could be a possibility. However, I'm still overwhelmed by python scripts. I'm currently learning the basics of VEX.
