Transport

Transport  -  Thing that can be played out of a Timeline or Function Cue and that doesn’t need to be inside an Animation Bank

Is expressed in “hours:minutes:seconds: frames “.

As Smode is in 50 frames/seconds by default, this means that to have a 0.5sec transport cue you’ll have to type “25” (as for 25 frames).

To type quickly inside of a transport, here is some hints :

“1.2.3.4” : “1hour:2minutes:3seconds:4frames”

“1” : 1 frame

“1.” : “1second”

“1..” : “1minute”

“1…” : “1hour”

Buttons on the transport:

• Move to start and stop playback

• Play

• Pause (stop playback but keep current position)

• Move to end and stop playback

If a Layer has a transport, this mean that it has a way to be independently animated. Check out Standalone Player for more information.

This kind of layers can be a Noise layer , an ISF Generator , or a Video File :

When a layer is played as standalone, a little player will appear below it:
