How do I shift a clip to start later in time?

Use a mix node for the first 19 frames. so at frame 1 set it to 0 frame 19 to 0 and frame 20 to 100% i managed to do an entire edit like this. Should work.

Thanks, The Refinery. I’ll have to try that.

The end and start behavior of your clip can be changed in the Read node (pull downs near the frame range boxes). You can get it to freeze (default) loop or turn to black.

As has been pointed out the frame at which your footage is read in can also be changed. This is done in the frame box (empty by default) this will accept simple expressions (e.g. frame+30)

In addition the FrameHold node is really easy to use and understand.

I suspect that what is happening is that you have not changed the default of the in/out behavior. You are mistaking a frozen frame for no effect.
