Common Controls
Settings Tab
The Settings tab in the Inspector is also duplicated in other Transform nodes. These common
controls are described in detail at the end of this chapter in “The Common Controls” section.
Scale [SCL]
The Scale node
Scale Node Introduction
The Scale node is almost identical to the Resize node, except that Resize uses exact
dimensions, whereas the Scale node uses relative dimensions to describe the change to the
source image’s resolution. This node actually changes the resolution of the image.
NOTE: Because this node changes the physical resolution of the image, animating the
controls is not advised.
Inputs
The single input on the Scale node is used to connect a 2D image for scaling.
–
Input: The orange input is used for the primary 2D image you want to scale.
Basic Node Setup
Below, the Scale node is inserted between the MediaIn1 node and the background input of the
Merge. Unlike using a Transform tool, scaling the MediaIn1 changes the resolution of the clip.
The resized MediaIn1 node connected to the orange background input also sets the resolution
of the Merge output.
The Scale node can be used to scale an image and change its resolution
