Ah! 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.
Thanks,

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?
Pretty sure I sent it to the entire list...

No - you test it - i.e.
if (previewing)
display timecode
end if;
That way, timecode will not display if playing or if rendered.
Make sense?
Oh - and you didn't send this to the list, you just sent it to me
directly.

Thanks Patrick,
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.
Thanks again,

In answer to your second question, yes - just check for a flag
called "previewing" and only show the timecode then...

Hello,
I have two questions regarding FCP's FX Builder.
- 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)?
Thanks for any help,
Rainer
