Image Tab
When brought in from the Media Pool or dragged from an OS window, the MediaIn node’s
Image tab includes controls for trimming, creating a freeze frame, looping, and reversing the
clip. You can also reselect the clip the MediaIn links to on your hard drive. A subset of these
controls is available when the MediaIn node is brought in from the Edit or Cut page Timeline.
Global In and Out
Only used when a clip is brought in through the Media Pool or an OS window, the Global In and
Out handles are used to specify the start and end of this node within the Fusion effect. Use
Global In to specify the frame on which the clip starts and use Global Out to specify the frame
on which the clip ends within the comp’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.
To slide the clip in time or move it through the project without changing its length, place the
mouse pointer in the middle of the range control and drag it to the new location, or enter the
value manually in the Global In value box.
