| `Start Frame`        | **Int**       | The selected start frame, if none is received in the **Input Socket**. When set to $$-1$$, the start frame is the very first frame of the **ImageSequence**. Note that it should always be set to a lower value than `End Frame`. |
| `End Frame`          | **Int**       | The selected end frame, if none is received in the **Input Socket**. When set to $$-1$$, the end frame is the very last frame of the **ImageSequence**. Note that it should always be set to a greater value than `Start Frame`.  |
| `Object`             | **ObjectID**  | The target **Object**.                                                                                                                                                                                                            |

| `FPS`                | **Int**       | The number of *Frames per Second*.                                                                                                                                                                                                |
| `Interpolation Mode` | **Drop-down** | The `Interpolation Mode` type. Can be either *Constant* or *Linear*.                                                                                                                                                              |
| `Loop Mode`          | **Dropdown**  | The looping type. Can be *Alternate*, *None*, or *Repeat*.                                                                                                                                                                        |
