Temporally concatenates a text string over a frame range This node can be thought of as a text based merge node that works across a time range. It can be used to create IFL (image file lists) or other types of results that are built over time by dynamically generated strings of text. The "Start Frame" control will often be driven by a vNumberCompRenderStart or vNumberCompGlobalStart node. The "End Frame" control will often be driven by a vNumberCompRenderEnd or vNumberCompGlobalEnd node. The "Step" control allows for frame skipping to occur. The "Separator" text field is used to define the character placed between each text element that is concatenated (merged) together. You might want to use a separator like a space, a comma, a semicolon, or a newline (\n), return (\r), or a tab (\t). The "Sort List" checkbox works on a line-by-line basis to alphabetically sort the results generated by the node. The "Remove Duplicates" checkbox can be used to remove any lines that have an identical output that pre-exists in the results. The counterpoint to the vTextAccumulator node is the vTextReadLine node that can break apart a multi-line text block into single line elements. If you want to stop a vTextAccumulator node from re-rendering on subsequent frames in the Fusion timeline, you can add a "vTextTimeSpeed" node right afterwards and set the Speed to 0 and the Delay to 0.
