Overview
Samples a hand-drawn or preset AutomationCurve as a regular Float that can drive movement, glow, scale, and other numeric parameters. It reads the curve using normalized progress from 0 to 1, so changing the project frame count still traverses the complete curve.
Usage tips
Connect the Curve from automation_curve and Progress from time_source, then connect Value
to the numeric parameter you want to animate. Set the actual range with Output Minimum and
Maximum on Automation Curve: 0–4 is useful for a 4px offset, 0.8–1.2 for ±20% scale, and
0–1 for glow or opacity.
Common mistakes
Progress below 0 or above 1 clamps to the nearest end value. For repetition, wrap or remap Progress to 0–1 before this node. Automation Curve's Duration is useful for audio timing, but this node intentionally uses only normalized position and does not introduce seconds into the animation workflow.
