User Manual

Clipping Mode
This option determines how edges are handled when performing domain of definition
rendering. This is mostly important for nodes like Blur, which may require samples from portions
of the image outside the current domain.
 Frame: The default option is Frame, which automatically sets the node’s domain of
definition to use the full frame of the image, effectively ignoring the current domain
of definition. If the upstream DoD is smaller than the frame, the remaining area in the
frame is treated as black/transparent.
 Domain: Setting this option to Domain respects the upstream domain of definition
when applying the node’s effect. This can have adverse clipping effects in situations
where the node employs a large filter.
 None: Setting this option to None does not perform any source image clipping at all.
This means that any data required to process the node’s effect that would normally be
outside the upstream DoD is treated as black/transparent.
Use GPU
The Use GPU menu has three settings. Setting the menu to Disable turns off hardware-
accelerated rendering using the graphics card in your computer. Enabled uses the hardware.
Auto uses a capable GPU if one is available and falls back to software rendering when a
capable GPU is not available
Comments
The Comments field is used to add notes to a tool. Click in the empty field and type the text.
When a note is added to a tool, a small red square appears in the lower-left corner of the node
when the full tile is displayed, or a small text bubble icon appears on the right when nodes are
collapsed. To see the note in the Node Editor, hold the mouse pointer over the node to display
the tooltip.
Scripts
Three Scripting fields are available on every tool in Fusion from the Settings tab. They each
contain edit boxes used to add scripts that process when the tool is rendering. For more details
on scripting nodes, please consult the Fusion scripting documentation.
