As said, does not work plain and simple. No documentation on this or other possible parameters. I've been told that _wipes() has something to do with motion blur settings, no documentation anywhere on this. Why is it that the Vectron node won't accept input? This should be very simple. No simple I/O on a node? Ridiculous! It's the first thing I'd put in, literally.

Sorry, I'm not sure to understand you. You can animate any parameter exposed in the vectron node. The only limitation is that currently, you need to reload the scene to update the vectron object because the IPR can't detect the changes right now. Check the attached video.

Hope it helps,

Except the IPR does detect changes in the variables when entering values, moving slider bars, etc. And don't forget to change rendering mode to Full scene reload (difference between update and full load being...?) I have to ask... Is this mentioned anywhere?

Nope, probably not. Sorry. Anyway, this is something to be improved, so hopefully, at some point the plugin will be able to update the vectron objects without reloading the scene.

Thanks,
