Animation and Time

Animation settings store frames per second, an inclusive start frame, an inclusive end frame, and the seamless-loop choice.

The default range is frame 0 through frame 59 at 30 frames per second. The current preview frame is session state and does not make the graph dirty.

The Time node can provide seconds, the current frame, or normalized progress. A one-frame range produces normalized progress of 0.

Animation export supports at most 1000 rendered frames and requires Pro. Seamless Loop reserves an extra unrendered endpoint so the last authored frame remains below normalized progress 1.
