FrameRange

Lets you set a frame range for a clip. This controls which frames are sent to the flipbook and displayed in the Viewer when the frame range source dropdown menu is set to Input.

After setting the frame range for a clip, you may want to adjust the script length for the new output range. Press S on the Node Graph to open the Project Settings, and enter frame range values that match the output range you specified.

To make an edit, you can first use this node to cut portions out of input sequences and then append the results together using the AppendClip node.

Tip:  Using FrameRange, you can also set the frame range for a clip directly in the Dope Sheet. See Animating Parameters for more information.
