How to use Time Effect node in Oraphim

Type ID: fusion.temporaleffect
Category: Time

What this node does

The Time Effect node is registered in Oraphim's Time category and performs the graph operation represented by its sockets and controls below.

The current Oraphim runtime registers 3 sockets and 30 properties for this node. Its main registered inputs are Input, Time Displacement Layer; its main outputs are Output. The tables below are generated from the runtime registry rather than a handwritten approximation.

How to use it

1. Add Time Effect from node search. Use fusion.temporaleffect when you need the exact registry entry.
2. Connect a compatible Image source to Input. Add the other inputs only when the operation needs them.
3. Start with the registry defaults and adjust Time Effect, Mix, Preserve Alpha first so you can see the node's effect in isolation.
4. Route Output (Image) into a compatible downstream node, viewer, or output path.
5. Preview a representative frame, change one input/control at a time, and save/reopen reusable graphs to verify persistence.

Practical example

Create a small test graph with Time Effect. Feed a compatible source into Input. Change Time Effect away from its registry default and compare the result. Connect Output to a compatible downstream stage so the result is visible. Keeping this test graph small makes socket-type, context, and parameter mistakes easier to diagnose before the node is used in a production graph.

Troubleshooting

• If a connection is rejected, compare the exact socket data types in the tables above; Oraphim graph connections are typed.
• If the result looks unchanged, confirm this node is on the active path to the viewer/output and that the expected graph/resource is selected.
• If a control is unavailable, check required inputs and whether the property belongs to an internal or mode-dependent group.
• If a saved graph behaves differently later, reopen it and verify node identity, connections, and edited property values before rendering.
