This node loads image and video files into your COP network. You can use the Add AOVs from File parameter to automatically import the AOVs and their properties from the source file. These AOVs become the outputs of this node.
Note
Some parameters on this node override the default settings on the enclosing COP Network node or COP Network SOP. See Default COP Network settings for more information.
Parameters ¶
Source
The method used to load your image or video.
File
Load a file from disk.
Clone
Load a clone from the Clone Control Panel.
File Name
When Source is File
, this is the path to the image, image sequence, or video file to load.
You can load individual images by providing the path to the image on disk. For image sequences, you can use either $F
as a placeholder for the frame number or <F>
to use the Video Timing parameter.
Clone Name
When Source is Clone
, this is the name of the clone to load in the Clone Control Panel.
Reload Image
Reloads the image.
Video Timing
Defines how to generate the frame number for either image sequences that use the <F>
notation or video files.
Start Frame
Start playing back an image sequence or video at a specific frame.
Frame Number
Display the image sequence or video at a specific frame.
Video Start Frame
When Video Timing is Start Frame
, this is the frame when the image sequence or video starts playing back.
Video Frame
When Video Timing is Frame Number
, this is the frame when the image sequence or video displays. You can use this parameter to write custom frame number expressions.
Border
The method used to handle the border of the raster when the Tile Visualization parameter is on in the enclosing COP Network node or COP Network SOP.
See Border types for more information.
Default
If the Default Border parameter is off in the enclosing COP Network node or SOP, this repeats the raster. If the Default Border parameter is on in the enclosing COP Network node or SOP, this uses the network-level default value.
Constant
Pad the raster by a constant transparent value.
Clamp
Extend the edges of the raster.
Mirror
Alternatively mirror the raster.
Wrap
Repeat the raster.
Missing Data
The method used to handle missing data, such as missing AOVs and missing frames in a sequence.
Report Message
Raise an error for missing frames and a warning for missing AOVs.
Use Color
Replace the missing data with a constant color. For missing frames, the size of the raster is the default context resolution. For missing AOVs, the size of the raster is the size of the image.
Missing Color
When Missing Data is Use Color
, this is the constant color that replaces the missing data.
Incoming Colorspace
The method used to interpret AOV color data.
OpenColorIO
Use OpenColorIO rules to determine how to interpret AOV color data.
Raw
Interpret all AOVs as raw color data. This is equivalent to turning on the Raw parameter for each AOV.
Add AOVs from File
Imports each AOV from the specified file or video and sets their properties in the Number of AOVs parameters.
Number of AOVs
The AOVs to load from the Source image or video.
File AOV
The name of the AOV to load from the specified file or video. For images, if C
is specified and it doesn’t exist in the file, the first AOV in the file is loaded instead. Video files only support C
.
Channel Type
The channel type to use for this AOV.
See Data types for more information.
Mono
Load the AOV as a grayscale (single-component) floating-point raster.
UV
Load the AOV as a UV (two-component) floating-point raster.
RGB
Load the AOV as an RGB (three-component) floating-point raster.
RGBA
Load the AOV as an RGBA (four-component) floating-point raster.
ID
Load the AOV as a single-channel integer raster.
Precision
The precision to use for this AOV, which controls how many bits the channel uses.
Default
Load the AOV with the default precision (32-bit). If the Default Precision parameter is on in the enclosing COP Network node or SOP, this uses the network-level default value.
File
Load the AOV with the same precision that’s used in the specified file.
8-bit
Load the AOV with 8-bit precision.
16-bit
Load the AOV with 16-bit precision.
32-bit
Load the AOV with 32-bit precision.
Raw
Turns off color correction for the AOV.
Outputs ¶
output#
The amount of node outputs and their details are based on the AOVs listed in the Number of AOVs parameter.
