Hi, I'm using Animation components such as the Normalized Time, in order to animate a still image by varying one of the filter's component's input over time.
The most I can do to to customize this behavior is to add a remapper to the Normalized Time component, but the remapper's Min and Max are fixed values that cannot be changed through a slider input. It would allow each filter preset to have a different Max value for the animation.
For that, I would need to multiply the slider value by the Normalized Time to get what I want, but I couldn't find any way to use the image-only Math components or the curve components, to perform simple arithmetic computations such as multiply(a,b)=a*b, and scripts are also image-only or curve-only, so they can't be connected to a grey input.
It's not just the lack of comfort and having to edit the filter and change the remapper Max before each animation render. Some things just can't be done, for instance, I'd like to apply a curve function to the normalized time so that the variable parameter value could be animated in a non-linear way (accelerated or slowed down in some parts of the timeline), but I couldn't find how to connect curve components to grey inputs.
Am I missing something or is it just impossible in the current version of FF?

You are correct, image / curve components can't be used for gray inputs at the moment. As a workaround, much of the functionality of gray inputs can be achieved by using other image components. Which gray input do you want to animate?
