tl;dr:<\/strong>A useful tweak to the “FrameHold” node that set by default its “frame” knob to the current frame in the timeline.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

\n
By the time I\u00b4m writing this, probably everyone has its own version of such a simple, yet day-to-day usefull tweak<\/strong> of a tool. Nonetheless, a couple of weeks ago a college of mine asked me to modify the “FrameHold” node so that, whenever we create one, it gets its “first_frame” knob automatically set to the frame in the timeline it is created. This imply some<\/em> people could still benefit from reading this :)<\/div>\n
<\/div><\/div>\n
\n
My implementation of such a thing consists of a mini function that is passed to an “addOnUserCreate”<\/strong> callback as callable argument whenever a “FrameHold” node is created.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\n
important<\/strong>: make sure to copy this code somewhere in your meny.py file to make it work. Enjoy!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
