NoTimeBlur

NoTimeBlur prevents nodes downstream from asking for fractional or multiple frames. You can use this node to avoid unwanted computation. For example, you may find that using TimeBlur on all the upstream nodes in your composition can be unnecessary and very time consuming. In these cases, you can use NoTimeBlur node to limit the number of nodes to which you’re applying TimeBlur. Just insert the NoTimeBlur node in your node tree above the TimeBlur and any nodes you want the TimeBlur node to process.

You can also use the NoTimeBlur node to force animated objects to align with input images.

rounding

rounding

rint

Sets the rounding type to use when blocking fractional or multiple frames:

rint - rounds the frame(s) to the nearest integer value.

floor - rounds the frame(s) down to the nearest integer value.

ceil - rounds the frame(s) up to the nearest integer value.

none - no rounding is applied to the requested frame(s).

enabled

When enabled, only the first frame requested is used.
