I’d like to create an animation based on the radius parameter for the spherical clip filter. That doesn’t seem to be an option. Is there a way to do this aside from scripting it?

There seems to be a refresh issue here. Change the Clip1 to something and comeback to Clip1 to force the refresh.

Please open an issue about the refresh.

Sorry this took me a bit; I need to get notifications set up again.
