• Seconds - Trigger when passing a Pacing Marker set to Seconds.

Time - The current time. This is connected to the Composition's Time attribute by default.

Count Mode - Choose what should happen when a marker is passed:

• Accumulate - Add 1 to the Count each time the playhead passes a Time Marker or Pacing Marker.
• Trigger - Set the Count to 1 when the playhead is on a Time Marker or Pacing Marker or 0 when it's not.

Convolution Size - Increase the duration over which changes to values occur when a Marker is hit.

Convolution Offset - Move the time the convolution occurs forward or backward in time relative the the Markers.

Convolution Graph - Shape or ease the convolution over its Size (duration).
