I'm wondering if anyone has a different approach to this issue. However, I find this method also means adding lots of nodes to my trees, and means we have to come up with a system for visualizing the values of those empties' locations.īake Animations: While this lets us move keyframes in the dopesheet/graph editor, we lose control over our node network parameters. We could potentially create a parented delay value system by parenting several empties to a master empty. Using Ojbect Transform Inputs with Parented structure: Blender certainly has a means of nesting values via constraints and parenting. Then if I wanted to offset multiple master delays, I would have to add in yet more nodes to delay the master delays. Say I wanted multiple master delay properties for several "groups" of sequential animations. To keep track of which animations I want to be affected by the master delay. However, I find this to be a pretty inefficientĪnd cumbersome method because it means adding an Attribute Input andįloat Math node for each existing delay node. Below I describe the issue in more detail.Ĭreating a "Master Delay" Custom Object property: This master delay value is added to existing delay nodes. Animations nodes I've found animation nodes excellent for creating animations, but that it doesn't really have a way to organize the timing of these animations. Is there a way to render a sequence of multiple duplicates of an image sequence as a single animation?įor many of the shots of the video that I have in mind the animation needs to loop multiple times.I'm working on a complex animation with many sequential elements. But when I do that the VSE bumps the duplicate from Channel 1 to Channel 2, so that doesn't work. What I need, of course, is that the 'Start Frame' remains 0, and that the 'Length' increases to 480. But after the dragging the 'Edit Strip' says the To test I would like to render a 480 frame animation two repetitions of the image sequence.
Using Shift + D I can create a duplicate of the image sequence, and when I drag that to the right the duplicate appends itself after the last frame of the original image sequence. With Google as my friend I succeeded in importing the 240 sequence of images into the Blender VSE. Designed to loop around the last frame connects seamlessly to the first frame. For instance, the shot that I'd like to render for my first try is a sequence of 240 frames (sequentially numbered PNG files). The shots of the video that I want to create are all looping sequences.
Blender animation sequence series#
Other than watching the first videos of that series I have no experience with the Blender VSE. So far my main source for learning about the Blender VSE has been the series of Youtube tutorials by Mikeycal Meyers. I've downloaded Blender 2.79, I run W7 64-bit. The image sequences are generated with POV-ray. I'm looking into the Blender Video Sequence Editor to create animations out of existing sequences of images.
