camera viewport.

Set the camera selector in the viewport from no cam to the camera you want to look through. Then press D to bring up the display options for that viewport. Go to the background tab and turn on Display Background Images then pick your sequence for filename. If you turn on Show sequences as one entry in the file dialog it will put the right expression in for you but if not it should be something like this:
your_sequence.$F.tif
$F gets replaced with the frame number you are currently on so if you are on frame 1 Houdini will be looking for a file called: your_sequence.1.tif
If you need to offset it use something like this:
your_sequence.`$F-1`.tif (those are backticks not quote marks)
This will be your_sequence.0.tif on frame 1
Hope that helps.

Hey there
in HD 15.5.673 - this doesn't work with: $F2 ?
My IMG Seq. for Camera-Background image is: tox-001.jpg, tox-002.jpg … tox-089.jpg, etc.
$F2 gives me: 38, 39 etc.
Background Image is also not in Help.

Do you mean you want those 100 frames ‘re-numbered’ to 101 to 200 instead of 1 to 100?
If so just import the sequence in Mplay and then save as sequence specifying the range as 101 to 200.
Keep in mind though if you already have a different set of frames numbered 101 to 200 in the same folder as those original frames of 1 - 100, the 101-200 ones will be written over; of course if that's where your saving too.

No I thinking about like nuke timeoffset, or Houdini timeWrap.
for example:
I need use input 1-100
and set retime output to 101-200
so I don`t know if that possible to do with Chops offset…
P.S I can always render out with any other packages, or MPlay too, but I am search solution where I can control that , let say I need offset that on 100 frames, and I do test and that not enough , and I need offset more, so I am talking online retiming without render out sequences…
Thanks
