My assumption was that I would need to set it - but I now understand you saying that this variable sets itself, reflecting the current status of the effect. You needed to reply all from my original message to get it to go to the list. This one appears to be directly to me as well. I'm not sure what you're asking - previewing is a pre-defined variable which is set when you are parked on an unrendered frame. If rendering, or playing it's value is 0. I suppose it's value is either frame render or sequence render when it is either playing or rendering. I've only used it to see if I was previewing. I'm getting what you are saying, but if I have to explicitly test it I could do that with my own variable, it wouldn't have to be predefined variable. So I was (am?) expecting more functionality there. And what's with the 'frame render' value which is accepted by FXBuilder? Oh - and you didn't send this to the list, you just sent it to me directly. I don't seem to get any difference no matter what I set previewing to. I tried 'true', 'false', 'frame render'. It doesn't like 'sequence render', despite what you may thing reading this in the documentation: 'previewing Used to define the rendering mode, frame render, or sequence render.' Could anyone shed some more light, please? I'm sure there are things I am not getting. like the correct usage, and where to place it within the code. In answer to your second question, yes - just check for a flag called "previewing" and only show the timecode then... - Can text that is burned into the image (like visible time code) include line breaks? If so what is the character that would represent that? - Can a filter be displayed in it's rendered state (let's say with a visible time code) when just parked on, but be turned off for actual rendering (like a timecode that doesn't show in the rendered effect)?
