Update media

Update a media from the Media List panel with a new file and refresh both the Designer cache and all VNode(s) cache if they are using the file as well.

!Warning: If a media is updated using this node and it is playing in a VNode, it will not display until the timeline is refreshed (OFF/ON).

Properties

• Find mode : Select the way the media is targetted
  Default : Tag
  Choices are:
  • Tag : This refers to the tag set in the Editor panel when the media is selected in the Media List panel
  • Name : This refers to the file name in the Media List panel

Inputs

*Note: If nothing is connected to the node’s String input, the media will be refreshed by a newer version of itself using the existing filepath of the media.

Outputs

This node has no outputs.

Example

Both examples are using the Name Find mode but the procedure would be the same using a Tag.

Using a new file path

Using the same file path

Individual Files

Alternatively individual media can be drag & dropped into the Graph Editor to be triggered individually in the same manner.

In this case, the filepath for the media to load must be specified on the String input before the node is triggered for the update to work.

If the filepath points towards a media with another name, the name in the Media List panel will be update as well.
