Basic Node Setup
The Loader node is a 2D image of any format supported in Fusion Studio. It is limited to an EXR
format in DaVinci Resolve. Below, the LOADER imports an image, which is then masked using
an Ellipse matte. The output of the masked LOADER is passed onto 2D image-
processing nodes.

File Tab
The File tab for the Loader includes controls for trimming, creating a freeze frame, looping, and
reversing the clip. You can also reselect the clip that the Loader links to on your hard drive.
Global In and Out
The Global In and Out handles are used to specify the position of this node within the project.
Use Global In to specify the frame on which that the clip starts and use Global Out to specify
the frame on which the clip ends within the project’s global range. The node does not produce
an image on frames outside of this range.
If the Global In and Out values are decreased to the point where the range between the In and
Out values is smaller than the number of available frames in the clip, Fusionautomatically trims
the clip by adjusting the Trim range control. If the Global In/Out values are increased to the
point where the range between the In and Out values is larger than the number of available
frames in the clip, Fusion automatically lengthens the clip by adjusting the Hold First/Last Frame
controls. Extended frames are visually represented in the range control by changing the color
of the held frames to green in the control.
