The Five Color Page Sizing Modes
The Sizing Palette on the Color page can be put into one of five modes, each of which
accomplishes a different task.
Edit Sizing: These controls mirror those found in the Inspector of the Edit page.
Input Sizing: These controls let you make sizing adjustments to individual clips that
affect their overall geometry (pan, tilt, zoom, and rotation). These controls are useful for
doing clip-by-clip pan and scan adjustments.
Output Sizing: These controls are nearly identical, except that they affect every
clip in the entire timeline, all at once. Output sizing is useful for making a formatting
adjustment to an entire timeline, such as changing an HD timeline to an SD timeline
with simple adjustments to crop and pan the resulting framing.
Node Sizing: Lets you add targeted sizing adjustments at any point within the node
tree. Like Input Sizing, Node Sizing is specific to a particular clip. Unlike Input Sizing,
Node Sizing is affected by operations that split color channels (such as the splitter/
combiner nodes) and limit the image (such as qualifiers and windows). You can also add
as many node sizing adjustments to a clip’s grade as you need.
Reference Sizing: A set of sizing controls that lets you reposition the still when a wipe
comparison is being made. Using these controls, you can move the still image to better
compare it to the clip you’re wiping it against. The Reference Sizing controls only work
when you have a wipe enabled.
Sizing Order of Processing on the Color Page
Input Sizing adjustments are applied before all image processing that takes place in the node
graph, including Node Sizing, while Output Sizing adjustments are applied after image
processing in the node graph.
Sizing Controls
Input, Node, and Output Sizing share many of the same controls. When the Sizing palette is set
to Input Sizing mode, the controls transform each clip individually. If you’re simply pushing in on
one or two clips, or making individual pan and scan adjustments to account for a change in
format, these are the controls you want to use.
