Loader Node Parameters
The image tab of Loader nodes shares parameters with MediaIn nodes, as described previously
in this chapter. However, when using a Loader node for EXR files, the Format tab selectively
enables and disables the use of specific auxiliary channels contained in the file.
The Format tab in a Loader node Inspector
displays Aux channels in EXR files.
Outputting Images Using Saver Nodes
Saver nodes render OpenEXR image sequences to disk directly from the Fusion page. Saver
nodes can be added to any branch of a node tree, allowing you to export one or more subsets
of nodes in a composition. You can add as many Saver nodes as you like to whichever
branches of your composition’s node tree you need to output, to export multiple parts of a
composition. For example, if a particular composition is made up of one branch of nodes
working together to create a complex background, and another branch of nodes creating a
foreground character with transparency, you could export the background and foreground
branches as separate OpenEXR files using two Saver nodes.
To do this, simply create a Saver node after any set of nodes you want to output, and then open
the Inspector and click Browse to choose a name and location for the rendered result.
When naming the file, you must add the .exr file extension. Fusion sets the output format
accordingly. A four-digit frame number is automatically added before the filename extension.
However, you can specify the frame padding by adding several zeroes to indicate the number
of digits. For example, 000 signifies 001.
