# Play ImageSequence ## Overview ![The Play ImageSequence Node.](/files/8tzbZfB5Zw5NcNabIreW) The **Play ImageSequence Node** starts and plays through an **ImageSequence** at the specified time frames. The `Start Frame` value must be a smaller number than the `End Frame`value. When \`\`PlayDirection`is set to`Backward\`, the **ImageSequence** will be played in reverse. [**Scope**](/incari-studio/2023.1/toolbox/overview.md#scopes): **Scene**, **Function**, **Prefab**. ## Attributes ![The Play ImageSequence Node Attributes.](/files/gsiG60y7fNx89tFpst8L) | Attribute | Type | Description | | -------------------- | -------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `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`. | | `PlayMode` | **Drop-down** | The `PlayMode` type. Can be either *Frames per Second* (frame rate) or *Time* (duration). | | `FPS` | **Int** (when `PlayMode` is set to `FPS`) | The number of *Frames per Second*, if one is not provided in the **Input Socket**. | | `Duration` | **Float** (when `PlayMode` is set to `Time`) | The duration, in seconds, of the **ImageSequence**, if one is not provided in the **Input Socket**. | | `Interpolation Mode` | **Drop-down** | The `Interpolation Mode` type. Can be either *Constant* or *Linear*. | | `Loop Mode` | **Dropdown** | The looping type, if one is not provided in the **Input Socket**. Can be *Alternate*, *None*, or *Repeat*. | | `PlayDirection` | **Dropdown** | The direction in which the **ImageSequence** plays, if one is not provided in the **Input Socket**. Can be `Backward` or `Forward`. | ## Inputs | Input | Type | Description | | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | *Pulse Input* (►) | **Pulse** | A standard **Input Pulse**, to trigger the execution of the **Node**. | | `Object ID` | **ObjectID** | The ID of the target **Object**. | | `Start Frame` | **Int** | The selected start frame. 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. 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`. | | `Speed` | **Int** or **Float** (depending on selected `PlayMode`) | The *Frames per Second* if `PlayMode` is set to `FPS`. The duration in seconds if `PlayMode` is set to `Time`. | | `Loop Mode` | **String** | The looping type. Can be *Alternate*, *None*, or *Repeat*. | | `PlayDirection` | **String** | The direction in which the **ImageSequence** plays. Can be `Backward` or `Forward`. | ## Outputs | Output | Type | Description | | ------------------ | --------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | *Pulse Output* (►) | **Pulse** | A standard **Output Pulse**, to move onto the next **Node** along the **Logic Branch**, once this **Node** has finished its execution. | ## See Also * [**4 Methods of Animation**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/v/2021.4/demo-projects/4-methods-of-animation#3.-image-sequence) * [**Pause ImageSequence**](/incari-studio/2023.1/toolbox/incari/imagesequence/pauseimagesequence.md) * [**Stop ImageSequence**](/incari-studio/2023.1/toolbox/incari/imagesequence/stopimagesequence.md) * [**Resume ImageSequence**](/incari-studio/2023.1/toolbox/incari/imagesequence/resumeimagesequence.md) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/2023.1/toolbox/incari/imagesequence/playimagesequence.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
