TimeWarp
Shows input frame `input frame` (usually an animated curve) at the current frame.
Shows input frame input frame (usually an animated curve) at the current frame. A new node starts with the current frame. Filter (box by default): none / nearest = the nearest frame, box = the frames under input frame +- input length / 2 averaged. Set to df/dt makes the input length follow the curve's slope.
