This Fuse combines the functionality of Resize, Letterbox and parts of the Crop tool. It works like its namesake in Nuke.
Fusion's Letterbox tool only supports the "width" and "height" scaling modes and can't rotate or flip the image. The Resize tool can't letterbox, and the Crop tool can't scale. This Fuse can do it all in one tool.
Version 1.5 has full ROIDS support and requires Fusion 6.31 or later. Here's version 1.0 without DoD in case there are problems.
Main Inputs
The following inputs appear on the tool's tile in the Flow Editor:
- Input
- Brackground image to be resized. Required.
Controls Tab
Since Fuses can't implement Fusion's frame format context menu, there are 4 buttons to the top of the GUI for some pre-defined formats. You can easily customize three of them by editing the Fuse's source code. The first one will always reset the sliders to the input image dimensions.
The desired width of the output image.
The desired height of the output image.
The output's horizontal pixel aspect ratio.
The output's vertical pixel aspect ratio.
Defines how the input image should be resized to fit the output dimensions. Possible values are:
- Width
- image may be cropped or letterboxed vertically
- Height
- image may be cropped or enveloped horizontally
- Fit
- all sides will fit into the output format and no distortion or cropping will take place
- Fill
- the entire output format will be filled while keeping the image aspect ratio
- Distort
- the entire output format will be filled and the image distorted to prevent cropping
- None
- no resizing will take place and cropping may occur if the output format is smaller than the input format
In all modes except "none" and "distort", the input's pixel aspect ratio is converted (e.g. PAL to HD) so the image aspect looks the same (if the viewer's 1:1 button is disabled, that is). If the resize mode is set to "None" and the filter is box, nearest or linear, no filtering will take place. This can be used to turn an image losslessly.
Mirrors the image vertically
Mirrors the image horizontally
Rotates the image 90 degrees counter-clockwise. 180° can be achieved by flipping & flopping, 270° can be achieved by flipping, flopping & turning.
Centers the image inside the output format. If unchecked, the bottom left corners will be aligned instead.
If disabled, the output DoD will be set to the selected image dimensions. Overscan will be cropped.
