Source node
Video
Plays back any movie file as a live texture, with a Loop switch and a speed dial — crank speed negative and it plays backwards. The simplest way to get found footage moving inside a patch.
What it does
Video is a source node: it makes a picture from nothing, so it sits at the start of a visual chain. It has no input and gives picture and audio out, so it starts a chain.
Try it
Set Speed to a small negative value for a slow, unsettling reverse loop.
