# not tested - of course you need to change this to your settings | |
# here this will generate a 20 frame/sec video of 1024x1024 pixels. Not standard for a video, but computers can deal with it :) | |
# the duration of the video is controlled by the number of images. ffmpeg will automatically stop when it reaches the end. | |
# tip: | |
# frame_%d.png will count from 1 to N | |
# frame_%02d.png will count from 01 to N | |
# frame_%03d.png will count from 001 to N.. you get the point | |

Hi!
in the script videomaker.py, timestamp is an attribute of the nodes, right? Which attribute is g in g.filter? I'm trying to use this code, but in my graph, the time parameter belongs to the edges (the animation shows the edges being added..), not to the nodes...How can I edit this code to that?
Thanks in advance!
