Output of one Encoder as input to another?

Post by gdpodesta »

As the topic says, I want one encoder to complete, and then use THAT result as input to another encoder, but it appears to be using the same input file in all the encoders. Is this by design, or can I specify this behaviour somehow?

Hi gdpodesta,

By design all encoders set the source variable for the next connected node(s). So if you connect an encoder to an encoder, the first will create the source for the second.

The source you're seeing in the monitor is the initially picked up or submitted source. It will never change but you have to see this as a "human identifier" for the job.

Ah, so instead of my current Encoder1->Folder->Encoder2,
I should have 2 connections:
Encoder1--->Folder
---->Encoder2
Thank you good sir, just a shift in thinking.
