We treat time as a plastic thing in Fusion because we do so many temporal operations, like noise reduction, retiming, 3D filtering, planar reformatting, etc. This tool “pads” your data so that you can work with tools that are requesting time outside the range of your clip. Otherwise, many tools will simply fail, saying “AwesomeTool1 failed at time 42.” or some other nonsense.
