Allows you to write each node cook to a file. Simply drop the node below the one which actions you want to record and specify a directory and basename for the recording.

Options:

• Enable recording When enabled, each cook will be saved to a file in the specified directory and basename
• Clear Removes the files in the folder that were written
• Rename Renames the files from the timestamps to an image sequence starting at 1.

<aside> 💡 It is important to understand that the objects that are being written are not “frame” based, but rather cook based. Each time, often many times a second, the node is evaluated, a file is written.

You can timeshift / retime the results afterwards.
