User Manual

Process Mode
Use this menu to select the Fields Processing mode used by Fusion when saving the images or
movie file to disk. The Has Fields checkbox control in the Frame Format preferences
determines the default option, and the default height as well. Available options include:
–
Full frames
–
NTSC fields
–
PAL/HD fields
–
PAL/HD fields (reversed)
–
NTSC fields (reversed).
The two reversed options save fields in the opposite order and thus result in the fields being
spatially swapped both in time order and in vertical order as well.
Export Mode
This menu is used to render out the file normally or apply a SMPTE standard 3:2 pulldown to the
footage, converting the footage from 24 fps to 30 fps.
Clipping Mode
This menu, sometimes considered source image clipping, defines how the edges of the image
should be treated.
 Frame: The default Frame setting clips to the parts of the image visible within its visible
dimensions. It breaks any infinite-workspace behavior. If the upstream DoD is smaller
than the frame, the remaining area in the frame is treated as black/transparent.
 None: This setting does not perform any source image clipping at all. This means that
any data that would normally be needed outside the upstream DoD is treated as black/
transparent. Be aware that this might create humongous images that can consume a
considerate amount of disk space. So you should use this option only if really needed.
For more information about ROI, DoD, and Infinite Workspace, see Chapter 8, “Using Viewers”
in the Fusion Studio Reference Manual or Chapter 60 in the DaVinci Resolve Reference Manual.
Save Alpha to Color
When enabled, this control causes the Alpha channel to be saved into the color channels as a
grayscale image. This completely overwrites any existing color information.
Color Space Type
This menu is used to set the Color Space of the output file so you could, for example, color
space convert images from linear to Rec709, etc., thereby delivering linear EXRs, 709
Quicktimes, etc.from a single source. The images are not being converted in the Comp, only in
the images saved to disk are converted.
 Auto: Passes along any metadata that might be in the rendered image.
 Space: Allows the user to set the color space based on the output format.
Curve Type
This menu is used to select a Gamma curve of the rendered file. Once the gamma curve type is
set, you can choose to apply the curve for output.
 Auto: Passes along any metadata that might be in the incoming image.
 Space: Allows the user to set the gamma curve based on the selected file format.
 Log: Displays the Log/Lin settings, similar to the Cineon Log node. For more detail on
the Log settings, refer to Chapter 39, “Film Nodes.”
